Back
to school is nearly here! Both Albuquerque Public Schools and CNM start
on Monday, August 12, and UNM kicks off the semester a week later on
Monday, August 19. With so many students out and about, it's important to
keep an eye out for kids getting on and off school buses and crossing busy
streets, slow down when driving in school zones, and remember there will be
extra traffic around all schools, including UNM and CNM campuses. Help
everyone get back to school safely! For student tips and resources, visit:

*Fact Checking Information in the Era of "Fake News"*
<https://cabq.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b697b563bdb0acc3e117a1409&id=bc7a775f38&e=648f2ff06c>
In
this day and age of non-stop information from endless sources, it’s
important to know what is real and factual, what is an opinion or a belief,
what is an honest mistake, and what is completely made up and fictitious.
Below are some ideas on how to determine what information is true and what
is not.

   - Who or what is the source of the information, what are its
   credentials, and is this source an authority?
   - Who is the intended audience and is it a specific group?
   - Can the accuracy of the information be corroborated? Is the
   information accurate, or is it slanted in one direction or another?
   - Does the article that shares this information use balanced, calm
   language or sensational, dramatic language?
   - Is the information current?
   - Can you find more information about the article or subject by doing
   your own research?
   - Have the photos or graphics associated with the article or subject
   been altered or faked in any way? Here’s a helpful article
   <https://cabq.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b697b563bdb0acc3e117a1409&id=c6592272e1&e=648f2ff06c>
   on spotting image manipulation.
   - When you do open up an article in your web browser, open another empty
   tab and use that second window to look up claims, author credentials and
   organizations that are referenced in the article.
   - Most importantly, ensure that what you are sharing or passing along is
   verifiable and accurate before you post.

There are many resources for fact-checking and verifying information
accuracy online. Our very own Albuquerque Bernalillo County Public Library
offers a great resource for further research at:

The
Department of Family and Community Services is sponsoring a school supply
donation drive. Donations are being accepted at all City Community Centers

Annual “Cruzin' into the School Year” event taking place at the Ted
Gallegos (Alamosa) Community Center on August 11, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Even
in a dry climate like Albuquerque, we can have issues with mosquitoes in
the summer. If you’re seeing an influx of them in your neighborhood and
live in either the city or the county, you can request mosquito control
spraying by calling 311. There are also things you can do to limit
mosquitoes, so learn more about controlling these pesky critters at:
