KMS After-School Tutoring

Hello Tiger Community, This morning KMS secured their campus for a brief period of time as social media posts were investigated. Our partners with the Aztec Police Department assisted with investigation. We want to stress that there is no specific threat to KMS at this time, and we will continue to take steps to keep our students and staff safe. Thank you, Aztec Municipal School District

Hello Tiger Community, We wanted to take a moment to update you on the events at KMS this morning that led to us securing our campus for a brief period of time. This morning we received a tip from a student that they had heard other students talking about a threat to KMS. This student did exactly what we hope all our students will do and brought the concern to our attention immediately. After the concern was brought to our attention, staff at KMS quickly took action to secure the campus and look into the report. At this time, our partners with the Aztec Police Department were present and assisted with looking into the matter. Through investigation, we learned that some students had seen a TikTok video that identified a non-specific threat that they believed targeted KMS. Sadly, this is part of a larger trend that is impacting schools across the country. Through further investigation, it appears that the referenced school was not specifically KMS and may have been referring to a school in another state. Student safety is our primary concern. All reports are taken seriously and are looked into. While this threat does not appear to be credible we have worked with Aztec Police to have an increased presence on our campus today. We again want to stress that there is no specific threat to KMS at this time, and we will continue to take steps to keep our students and staff safe. Additionally, we want to highlight and thank our brave student who brought this to our attention so we could ensure campus safety. Thank you, Aztec Municipal School District

Hello Tiger Community, This morning we received a tip of a possible threat to Koogler Middle School. We are working with the Aztec Police Department. Out of an abundance of caution, we will have an increased police presence at KMS. The information we received has not been substantiated and the investigation is ongoing. At this time, the tip does not appear to be credible. Thank you, Aztec Schools

Parents and Guardians, Please advise your students that they need to walk on the sidewalks afterschool not in the street on the white line. Tell them that darting out in front of traffic is not safe. We do not want anyone injured. Thank you for your time and help on this matter. KMS Administration

Don't forget to vote November 7th on the Re-Authorization of the Mill Levy (Also known as the Aztec Public School Capital Improvement Tax).

Parents/Guardians, please be aware that students can not be checked out after 2:45 Monday-Thursday, and not after 1:15 on Friday.

Parents/Guardians: Koogler Middle School will no longer be offering summer school as an alternative if a student does not pass their classes. We will send out warning letters at the end of first semester to let you know if there are issues, but encourage you to monitor your students' grades closely. Further information will be forthcoming, but we wanted you to know sooner rather than later so that you could encourage your students to do well at the beginning of the school year.

Parents/Guardians - This is an announcement concerning parents/guardians attending the Glow Dance this Friday. "Unless you are the parent of a child with a disability in which your attendance is necessary then parent attendance will not be allowed. Parents are more than welcome to walk their student in but we ask that they then leave. If you do have a child with a disability and need to stay you will let us k ow we will put your name and their name down on a list so anyone checking students is aware. If you have any further questions please let me know." Thank you Janelle North Tiger Paws Booster Club

Please use the pick-up and drop-off lane in front of the school before and after school. This is safety issue and we need you to help keep your students safe by using that lane only for pick-up and drop-off everyday.
