MASD Families we have some exciting news! We are upgrading our student software system, Skyward. The new system, Qmlativ will be implemented early April. We have been working very hard on this project and are very excited to roll this out. We do need to let you know that while we transition you will not have Skyward Family Access. It is going to take a little bit of time for us to ensure our system is ready to go before we ask you to download the app. Thank you to all who have been working so, so hard on this project!/ Familias de MASD tenemos unas noticias emocionantes por venir! Estamos en proceso de mejorar nuestro sistema de Access de Familia, Skyward. El nuevo sistema, Qmlativ comenzará este Abril. Hemos estado trabajando muy duro para poder lanzar este proyecto. Si queremos dejarle saber que mientras nos muévamos no tendrá usted acceso al sistema Skyward Family Access. Nos tomara poquito tiempo para asegurarnos que todo esté listo antes de pedirle que descargue nuestra nueva aplicación. Gracias a todos los que han aportado a este proyecto!
At the Harrah Schools, we greatly value the safety and security of the students and staff in our care. We also recognize you as valuable partners in that process. The more you know about our safety plans, the better we can protect our kids.
Today at the Harrah Schools, we conducted the following drill:
Orange Vest Lockdown
Reason for Practicing: Prepare for Definite Threat of Harm
Example: Active violent assailant
What We Practiced: All interior and exterior doors were locked, students accounted for with attendance protocols, and staff initiated written emergency procedures.
What You Can Do Today:
• Ask your child about the drill to check for understanding
• Talk them through any questions or concerns they may have
• Share any questions and/or concerns or clarifications with your school’s Safety Leads Cesar Hernandez or Michelle Navarro.
What You Can Do When it’s not a Drill:
• Check the school Website, MASD app, or Parent Square for updates.
• Do not approach the school or attempt to retrieve your child until instructed to do so via MASD Notification Systems. Your presence may interfere with emergency responders and endanger lives.
• Do not attempt to communicate with the school as it might interrupt emergency communications.
• In extreme cases, students may be evacuated to a reunification site, where parents/guardians may retrieve them. To provide for the continuing safety of the students, this process will take some time and your patience is appreciated. You will be contacted as soon as it is safe.

Earlier today, at approximately 12 PM, our Linewize system alerted us that the word “gun” was used in a message that was generated from campus. As a precautionary measure, we immediately contacted 911 and initiated a lockdown. We are grateful for the swift response from three sheriff and three Tribal officers who arrived to assist us. We are happy to report that everyone is safe and accounted for, and the lockdown has now been lifted. Operations have returned to normal. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
