Dear APS Families,It’s Friday Night Bulldog Football time again so I want to take a moment to address a matter of utmost importance – the safety and well-being of our students during the games.Last football season, we implemented the new protocol of not allowing students to walk around Bulldog Bowl during the football games.  We will again put this protocol into place this season.  It provided our fans with the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful evening without having to dodge students as well as cutting down on the fights.  We received positive feedback from staff, students and fans on how much nicer it was at our games. Please remind your student that unless they have a reserved seat ticket, they must sit in the general admission section or the student section.

 Artesia—The City of Artesia is holding the third public meeting for the Artesia Comprehensive Plan on Thursday, August 22, 2024, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at the Artesia Recreation Center at 612 N.

The Artesia City Council passed an ordinance that will regulate the consumption of alcoholic beverages on city-owned property at the Artesia City Council meeting on Tuesday, August 13th. The current ordinance does not allow alcohol consumption on City property under any circumstance whereas the new ordinance will allow it when authorized by a resolution. “So basically, what this is— if a person is holding an event and wants to use a piece of City property, like Jaycee Park, Heritage Park, or the Balloons and Tunes events on Eagle Draw, the current ordinance does not allow us to have alcohol sales on City Property,” said Byron Landfair, Infrastructure Director.
