Masks and temperature checks are required. A special entry code will be given to the students, and they will not be allowed to bring guests from other schools. The district announced several weeks ago that because of a rise in COVID cases, they would not allow the dances this year, but have changed course. Albuquerque Public Schools are allowing homecoming dances with some of the same rules.
