⏰September is National Attendance Awareness Month! As we kick off the new school year, our focus this month is Be Here & Build Great Habits. Establishing consistent morning and evening routines helps set our students up for success, ensuring they arrive on time and ready to connect, learn, and grow every single day.⏰
✨To support your family at home, we have built easy-to-use tools to help track progress and stay on target:
▪️Rise & Shine Habit Tracker: A simple daily routine checklist to help students build great morning and evening habits, as well as set goals.
▪️Attendance Matters! Year-long Absence Tracker: A visual guide to help you keep track of missed instructional days throughout the school year.
Additional tools and resources can be found on our website at: https://www.alamogordoschools.org/page/attendance

📢APS Drop-Off/Pick-Up Lane Reminder!
To help keep traffic moving, we ask that parents/guardians using the drop-off/pick-up lane remain in their vehicles. If you need to get out of your car to assist your student, please park in a designated parking spot rather than stopping in the drop-off/pick-up lane. For the safety of all students, please ensure your student always exits/enters the vehicle on the sidewalk side. This is essential to prevent students from stepping into traffic or active driving lanes. 🚗🚘
Thank you for helping us keep our drop-off/pick-up routine safe and efficient!💛🥰

📢Rooms- Important Information!
We are excited to be rolling out this new communications tool for the 26-27 school year, but please be aware that as we transition to this tool, you will still be receiving information from your student's school and teacher via email. For families new to our district, updates to student emails are still happening, and as we finalize those updates, parents will begin to receive the Rooms alerts. No action is needed from you at this time.
Our goal is to keep our families informed and connected, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get everything finalized. Thank you
Happy 1st Day of School to K, 6th & 9th graders! 📔📖
We hope you have a fantastic year!
