Echo Workshop for Families
Join us Thursday, September 11 at 6 pm for a workshop to learn more about Echo, nex+Gen’s Learning Platform. Discover how to use your Echo Viewer Account to help support your student(s) learning. Learn how to view your student’s grades, daily agendas, assignments, resources, teacher feedback, and performance. We will also discuss nex+Gen Learning Outcomes (skills) and how they factor into a student’s overall grade.
IMPORTANT! Please make sure that you can log into your Echo Viewer (Parent) account before Thursday. It would be helpful to bring your device (phone, tablet or laptop) so we can practice navigating the app. If you have trouble accessing your Echo Parent account, please contact Alison Floyd, floyd_a@aps.edu or (505)884-6400 x43322.

Sound is Motion Project in Physics
Sound is Motion Project in Physics
Physics kicked off their first project, "Sound is Motion," with guest musicians Glen and Beverly Salas. The students were introduced to instruments from around the globe and learned a bit about the history of wind, percussion, and brass instruments. Along with the learning came musical interludes and interactive music creation with our awesome Nex+Gen Juniors! The project will conclude with a showcase of homemade instruments and presentations on the physics concepts that helped them understand the physics of sound.
Environmental Science and Statistics Project Launch with Valle de Oro
Environmental Science and Statistics Project Launch with Valle de Oro
Seniors’ first field trip to the Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge was a success! At the refuge, students in Environmental Science & Statistics (ESS) learned about the history and mission of the refuge from Ranger Dakota, and then rotated through 6 stations to learn about the ways scientists study different aspects of the ecosystem there. Additionally, students learned about what they might do if they chose to work with a given mentor in their project. Next Friday, these students will go out to the refuge to work with their mentors for the first time.

Parent Notification of Emergency Protocols
Parent Notification of Emergency Protocols
We live in a world where we are bombarded with news about bad things happening in places near and far. Schools are statistically among the safest places to be on a day-to-day basis, but, as we have seen, they’re not immune from calamity.
Given that reality, we recognize that we, as a district, must be vigilant and do everything in our power to prepare our staff and students for critical incidents. We know we also have a responsibility to provide you with timely, accurate, and clear information as school emergencies unfold.
Communication will likely be handled through official channels such as aps.edu, social media sites, phone, and email messages.
If you are a parent, guardian, student, or APS employee, here’s what you can expect to be communicated to you during a critical incident that occurs while school is in session:
● Information that a shelter in place has been initiated will be posted on the homepage of aps.edu, individual school websites affected, and on Twitter.
● If you have opted into our mass communication system, you will be notified via School Messenger by phone and/or email once law enforcement has activated a shelter in place or lockdown. Please ensure your personal contact information is updated at your school site.
● APS will communicate with law enforcement and update you via aps.edu, individual school websites, School Messenger, and social media platforms as the new details are confirmed.
● Should an early dismissal of school and/or regular transportation be canceled, your child will be kept on campus with adult supervision until you can arrange to pick them up.
● You will also be notified if transportation is still available, schedules are disrupted, students can walk home, high school students can drive themselves and others home, or if after-school activities are canceled.
● Every APS school and work site has a detailed school safety plan. You will be notified via the platforms mentioned above in the event of an evacuation.
● The school’s relocation and family reunification plan will be activated in an off-campus evacuation. Students will only be released from the relocation site to custodial parents/guardians or persons identified on the school emergency card.
● All messaging platforms will notify you once the situation has been contained and law enforcement determines the next steps.
● A letter explaining what happened and any other essential information will be sent to the families impacted by the day’s events.
Please note that every situation is different, and decisions are made based on the best information available at that moment. Due to the unpredictable nature of emergencies, it is not possible to guarantee that a robocall or post will follow every development in a crisis. We ask for your patience if communication is not as fast as you would like. The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority.
We know these situations create fear and uncertainty, and we commit to providing you with information as soon as it is available.
