District Office Bulletin for Thursday, September 10, 2026
What's this MINGA??? Good morning, Norsemen! We want to share a quick update on a new tool we are using this year called Minga. You'll be seeing Minga in two main ways around school. First, it is how we are celebrating Norse PRIDE! Instead of paper tickets, your teachers are now using Minga to instantly recognize you when you demonstrate our core values—being Positive, Respectful, acting with Integrity, staying Disciplined, and being Engaged. When you see a teacher giving you a 'Minga point,' know that it's a shout-out for the great work you're doing. Keep up the great work and keep showing that Norse PRIDE! We have some great ideas and will be starting a Norse PRIDE store where you can turn in your MINGA points for some cool prizes! We will also continue the weekly drawings and add this to your chances for our Ride w/Pride program! Second, it is our new digital hall pass system, which helps us keep our hallways safe and efficient. This part of MINGA will be rolled out over the next few weeks, with several teachers already starting to pilot this. Thank you for your positive attitude and cooperation in using this new tool!
Crosswalks- Let's use them! As you may have noticed, NM city has placed crosswalks near the school. Please be mindful and use them if you are crossing the street. Also, drivers...please be sure to slow down and stop for all walking in the crosswalk. Thank you for your attention to safety in our community.
Remember... You are appreciated. You are loved. You matter!
