Vista Nueva High School

Good Morning Vista Family, I just wanted to let everyone know that parent teacher conferences are rapidly approaching. Later today you should receive an email with a link to sign up for time slots to visit about your student. These conferences will be taking place on February 10th and 11th. We look forward to connecting with as many of you as possible! Dreher Robertson

Earlier today the NMPED released and updated COVID-19 Toolkit for schools to follow. One of the most significant changes in the new toolkit is a change in quarantine time for students. Please see the attached Information and Q and A document here: https://5il.co/148b5

Good Afternoon Vista Family, Students should be wrapping up their semester. As such, all teachers will have office hours tomorrow via Google Meets for students to meet, clarify any last minute assignment questions and to check in on grades. Please ask students to look for the links to these Google Meets sessions within their Google Classroom announcements. The schedule of office hours will be as follows: Dobbs 10:00 - 11:00, Zarko 11:00 - 12:00, McClung 12:00 - 1:00, Dusenberry 1:00 - 2:00. Teachers will be available to support students at any other times throughout the week as well, but this will be a good opportunity to meet live for any clarity. Again, thank you all for your patience with this situation. Dreher

Good Morning Vista Family, It has come to our attention that we have had multiple COVID exposures in the building. As a result of the total number exposed and the desire to mitigate spread, we will be going remote for the rest of the week. We will resume in-person instruction and begin our new semester on Tuesday, January 18th. I am sorry this is happening. We all want to be in school, we just find ourselves in a very difficult situation. Ms. Klohn and myself will be reaching out to the close contacts this morning. Students will need to access their Google classrooms for assignments the rest of the week. If your student does not have their computer, please email or message us today so that arrangements can be made to get this out to students. Thank you for your patience as we navigate the current pandemic landscape. Dreher

Please see the message below from the NM Public Education Department and NM Department of Health: The New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) and the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) are aware that certain individuals are not letting schools know when they test positive for COVID-19, and that individuals are coming to school after testing positive. This includes staff and parents visiting the school or sending their students to school after testing positive. Please be aware that individuals refusing to self-isolate, or refusing to self-isolate their children, following a positive COVID-19 test put the health and safety of others at serious risk. Any such action will be referred to NMDOH and the New Mexico Attorney General for investigation and possible civil and criminal enforcement. Individuals who violate the Public Health Orders or Public Health Act may be subject to a fine of up to $5,000 per violation and up to six (6) months in jail. Please help ensure the health and safety of our students and staff by reporting a refusal to following self-isolation public health orders, by contacting NMDOH at 1-833-551-0518 or by submitting your concern here: https://nmgov.force.com/pedincidentreport/s/

Please see the attached message from Chartwells, our food service partners.

Children are going to hospitals at an increased rate due to rising COVID-19 transmission from the Delta variant, especially in communities with low vaccination rates.
