🚂 Thank You for Joining the SVUSD Express!
What an incredible turnout at yesterday’s SVUSD Enrollment & Family Fair! Thank you to all of the families—both new and returning—who came out to explore what makes Sierra Vista Unified School District such a special place to learn and grow.
From meeting our amazing teachers and learning about our schools and programs, to enjoying games, photo booths, free books, and prizes—it was a great afternoon filled with connection, excitement, and community.
We are so proud to share all that SVUSD has to offer, including our A+ Schools of Excellence and top-performing elementary schools in Cochise County. Events like this remind us how strong our SVUSD family truly is.
If you weren’t able to attend, we still look forward to connecting with you and helping you get enrolled for the upcoming school year!

Queen Mine Tour, Bisbee
Our 3rd graders had an unforgettable adventure at the Copper Queen Mine in Bisbee! ⛏️ Bundled up in jackets (it’s a chilly 47° underground!), they suited up with hard hats, slickers, and miner headlamps before riding the underground train into the mine. What an amazing hands-on way to bring Arizona history to life!






Recently our 1st and 2nd graders went on an unforgettable field trip to Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch!
Experiences like this bring classroom lessons to life. Students not only discovered more about animals and their habitats, but they also practiced responsibility, curiosity, and respect for living things. Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter made it clear just how meaningful hands-on learning can be.
We are incredibly fortunate that our students are able to participate in enriching trips like this thanks to the generous support of tax credit donations. Your contributions make these memorable, educational experiences possible, and we are truly grateful for the opportunities they provide our students.








We are proud to celebrate our PBIS Students of the Month!
Each month, teachers select one student from their classroom who consistently demonstrates our PBIS expectations of being Safe, Respectful, and Responsible.
Congratulations to all of our PBIS Students of the Month! Thank you for helping make our school a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

Recently, our School Safety Officer at Carmichael Elementary School spent time with our 5th and 6th grade students talking about careers in school safety and law enforcement. Students asked thoughtful, insightful questions and were genuinely engaged in the discussion — a true reflection of their curiosity and excitement about future opportunities.
We are incredibly thankful for our strong partnership with the Sierra Vista Police Department and the Cochise County Sheriff's Office for supporting this program and investing in our students. Together, we are building relationships, inspiring futures, and keeping our campuses safe. 💙

Dear SVUSD Families,
We are excited to invite you to Talk with Terri, a special community listening event with Superintendent Terri Romo.
Thursday, January 29
5:00–6:00 PM

This is an opportunity for parents and guardians to share their questions, concerns, experiences, and ideas as we work together to support students and strengthen our schools.
Superintendent Romo’s priority is to listen, learn, and better understand what matters most to you. Your voice is important, and your feedback will help inform the future of Sierra Vista Unified School District.
Everyone is welcome, and we encourage all families to attend and take part in this open, welcoming conversation about our schools, our community, and our future.
We hope you will join us for this important opportunity to be heard.

On Friday, our students and staff celebrated the 100th day of school by dressing up as how they imagine they’ll look when they’re 100 years old.
It was such a fun way to celebrate 100 days of learning, growing, and smiling together! We loved seeing all the imagination and school spirit on display. Here’s to many more days of learning ahead! 💯







Today we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 🌈
He taught us to be kind, fair, and to stand up for what is right.
Let’s remember his dream by using our words to help, our actions to care, and our hearts to include everyone. 💙
We hope everyone enjoys their day off, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back at school tomorrow! 😊

All district and school offices will be closed for Winter Break as we take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the season.
We can’t wait to welcome everyone back on January 5, when students return to school.
Wishing you a safe, joyful, and relaxing winter break!
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! 🎄✨
