Hello Tiger Community,
Earlier we had an individual at Lydia Rippey Elementary School experience a medical emergency that required an ambulance to be on site. Students and staff are safe and Emergency Responders have departed the site. We appreciate your understanding and thank all of our team members and partners for their quick response to this medical episode.
Thank you, Aztec Municipal School District

Hello AMSD Families and Staff,
We regret to inform you that an unforeseen network outage has significantly impacted our ability to operate safely and effectively. As a result, we must close school for the day, 2/24/2025 to assess the situation and develop a plan for moving forward.
At this time, we cannot guarantee when we will be able to reopen, but please know that we are working diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We will provide updates as often as we can to keep you informed.
We understand that this unexpected closure may cause inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and support as we address the situation. Our top priority remains the safety and well-being of our students and staff, and we are committed to keeping you updated every step of the way.
Thank you for your understanding. Please stay tuned for further communication as more information becomes available.
Sincerely,
Aztec Municipal School District
Dear Tiger Community,
We would like to take a moment to clarify the purpose behind the "emergency incident" alert notifications, particularly in light of recent questions and concerns.
We understand that seeing emergency vehicles on a school campus can understandably cause concern for families and the broader community. To ease worries and promote transparency, we aim to provide notifications about incidents on campus whenever we can.
In instances where a student experiences a medical emergency—whether it’s a minor injury or a more serious situation—the Aztec School Health Team assesses the need for further medical attention. If necessary, Emergency Services are contacted to ensure the well-being of the student. Our priority is always to work closely with the impacted family and Emergency Services to address the situation quickly and effectively.
Once the situation is under control and the student is safe, we send out an alert to keep the community informed. At the same time, please know that we prioritize the privacy and safety of the student involved, which is why specific details are kept confidential.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate these sensitive situations while keeping the best interests of our students and staff at heart.
Sincerely,
Aztec Municipal School District
