Greetings Aztecs,

Families, please fill this survey out, giving us your feedback, and signify that we want this 1.9 million grant. As of Sunday afternoon, we have 120 family responses with 110 of those responding yes to the initiative. Please make sure to fill out this survey and help us bring money, structures, and connection to much needed resources for our school community.

- Discipline: Any students suspended from school will be added to the list and may roll over to the next grading period for excessive referrals to the Assistant Principal.
- Attendance: 3 full day unexcused absences/18 single period unexcused absences or 12 unexcused tardies.

Students on the list are not able to attend or buy tickets to extra curricular activities outside of the school days such as dances or athletic events.
How to Clear Your Name from the List:
For Attendance: Attend Saturday School!
Discipline: Maintain behavior reflecting our Aztec values. Students will be re-evaluated at the end of each grading period. Referrals to the Assistant Principal will impact removal from the non-privilege list. We strongly encourage you to attend Saturday School!

Get Cleared for Winter Sports
For Sports Clearance, we will no longer be using Register My Athlete. Instead we are with a new company called Home Campus.
As we get ready for the Fall Sports Season, you will need to get your athlete cleared to participate in tryouts.
Your student will need a physical dated after 12/1/2023 and proof of insurance. Both of these will need to be uploaded to complete the registration process.
A copy of the physical form has been attached to this message along with directions on how to complete the Home Campus registration process.
Please Click Here to register your Athlete: www.homecampus.com/login
**If you are registering as a manager, you do not need a physical - however you will need to upload a blank document to complete the registration process.
If you have any questions, please contact our Athletic Director, Coach Martin.
