From Trunk-or-Treats to costume contests for your four-legged furry friends, there's something for everyone this Halloween. Aztec Municipal Schools is rolling out a new school safety pickup platform across its elementary schools. Keep an eye out for information from your child's school. And San Juan Regional Medical Center is the first medical facility in New Mexico to deploy the Tru-D iQ system. You're watching the Local News Roundup, brought to you by Northern Edge Casino and Traegers Bar. I'm Connor Shreve. Aztec Municipal Schools announced October 16th they'll be transitioning to a new school safety and dismissal program across all three elementary schools. The new program, PikMyKid, will replace the current PickUp Patrol system. Each school will transition to PikMyKid in a staggered timeline with all three schools planned to be completely transitioned by January. Your kid's school will send information on how and when to sign up to the new program. Looking for some place to safely celebrate Halloween with your friends and family?

San Juan Regional Medical Center is the first New Mexico Hospital to use the Tru-D iQ system, adding another layer to the hospital's cleaning arsenal. Tru-D is a UVC disinfection robot and works by generating UV energy to modify the DNA and RNA of an infectious cell, rendering it harmless. The system enables Tru-D to disinfect a room in about half the time of previous systems, enabling the hospital to continue to provide patients and visitors with a clean, healthy environment.
