Families: Today we had our reopening inspection. Unfortunately, our HVAC upgrade is not complete and we are not approved to bring scholars into the building at this time. That means we cannot begin in person learning on Tuesday 4/6 as planned. For now, all classes will remain remote and we will update you as construction is completed.
It's Spring Break time! As of now, ABQCA is on Spring Break! Scholars can continue to work on course work next week but teachers may not be responding to messages. We will see you back in zoom on Tuesday, March 30th. Be safe!
A year ago today we sent our scholars home and planned to re-open in two weeks. It has now been 52 weeks and we can't wait to see you back in the building soon. We are so proud of you for all the new technology you have learned, the things you have done to support your families and for surviving this pandemic! You all are amazing! If you haven't already responded letting us know if you are ready to return in person, please do that today: https://bit.ly/2OkHO7k

ABQCA Community: The Governor announced that secondary schools are able to begin the process of returning to some in person classes. We are reviewing the requirements to have scholars back in the building but it will take time to get these in place. At this time, we do not anticipate bringing scholars back into the building until after our Spring Break, which is scheduled for March 22-26, 2021, at the earliest. We will keep you updated as that date approaches. Stay safe!
Scholars and Families- we would like to know how you are feeling about the possibility of returning to in person learning in the school building. Please click the link to answer a very short survey: https://bit.ly/2XGlne0
