Good afternoon Vista Family, it is with a heavy heart that I write to you today. We lost one of our recent graduates and sister of one of our current students last week in a tragic incident. On Friday, we met with students to discuss what was happening and to offer any supports that staff or students might need. We have had many phone calls about how to support the school. The best way to support Vista is by supporting the family through the go fund me link posted below. Thank you for the all of the phone calls and messages and continued support of our extended family.

Good afternoon Vista Family, We have a few changes in our schedule tomorrow. The field trip for juniors to San Juan College has been postponed.

Good Afternoon Vista Family, In an effort to help our students get paid for their internships, we need your support. All students need to be able to provide their social security card or birth certificate, and a state or student ID. Students are being hired by and paid by the school district for these internships. Please have your student bring these items with them this week so that we can move forward with the process. Please reach out if you have any questions. Dreher

Hey Vista Family! My apologies, that last message was for Koogler families and I forgot to uncheck the Vista Contacts box. Current students do not need to do anything with applications!

Good Afternoon Vista Family, We received a last minute invite to travel to Fort Lewis College tomorrow for an Environmental Science Summit. There are 15 students that have been invited to join. They will be headed out at 8:30 and will be joining other students from around the state to learn about issues impacting our region. We will be taking care of their lunch and they will return by about 2:30. This trip is not mandatory and any students with prior obligations are welcome to go about their normal school day. I am sorry for the late notice but it is a great opportunity for a group of students to do cool stuff! Dreher

Good Morning Vista Family, The multiple snow days over the last six weeks have put a serious strain on our timelines for finishing out the second trimester. We feel strongly that it is in the best interest of students and staff to shift our end date for this trimester to Friday, February 24th in order to finish out final projects, assignments and exams without penalty. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for understanding. Dreher

Good Morning Vista Family, I wanted to send out a reminder that we will be in remote learning this Thursday and Friday. All students were introduced to their remote learning assignment this morning. This assignment is the first small step in building to a much larger Capstone project that students will be using as a demonstration of competency for graduation. Any students without internet access will be provided paper copies of the assignment and should have no problem completing this work by Monday morning. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Dreher

Good Evening Vista Family, The staff and I have been presented with an amazing opportunity to join educators from around the state in ABQ for the Ed Uprising conference on February 9th and 10th. We will be leading work on graduate profiles, capstone courses, and work based learning opportunities. As a result, we will be going remote for those two days. Over the next two weeks, grade level cohorts will be discussing their projects that are directly tied to the work we will be doing in ABQ, our graduate profile and keys to success. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns! Dreher P.S. The trimester ends on February 17th and progress reports were mailed home today.

Good evening Vista Family, I am overwhelmed by the number of family members coming to the feast on Friday! We are excited to share a day of gratitude with all of you. While we are looking really good on food supplies we could use a little help in the beverage department. If anyone is willing to help out with tea or water, please have your student let their advisor know tomorrow morning. We ask that all families enter through the front doors of Vista Nueva to be guided into the boys and girls club for dining! See you all Friday! Dreher
