🌟 Staff Spotlight: Terri Neitring, Technology Instructional Paraprofessional at Huachuca Mountain Elementary 🌟
Join us in celebrating, a dedicated member of the Sierra Vista Unified School District for 10 years! 🎉
Mrs. Neitring began her career as an ESS paraprofessional at the middle school before taking a short break to focus on family. After her youngest daughter started kindergarten, she returned to work in ESS at PDS and later became a kindergarten paraprofessional. For the past two years, Mrs. Neitring has been part of the Huachuca Mountain team as the Technology Instructional Paraprofessional—and she’s making a big impact!
💡 Mrs. Neitring’s passion for community support led her to co-found the Student Council at PDS, and now she’s proudly leading Huachuca Mountain’s council into its second year with 34 students alongside Coach Mac. Together, they’ve taken on incredible projects like:
Placing flags on veterans' graves.
Supporting Santa on the West End.🎅
Participating in the Stocking Stuffers Program and Shop with a Cop.🎁
Mrs. Neitring also played a key role in establishing the PBIS store at Huachuca Mountain, which has been a huge success in promoting positive behavior among students.
💖Born in Hawaii, Mrs. Neitring moved to Sierra Vista at age 9 and even attended PDS herself! Now, as a proud mom of three, she’s paying it forward by helping every student grow and thrive.
Thank you, Mrs. Neitring, for your creativity, leadership, and unwavering dedication to our school and community! 💙

🌟 Community Support Room Grand Opening at Huachuca Mountain! 🌟
Today, members of the SVUSD Maintenance Team, Huachuca Mountain staff, and Site Council members came together to officially open the Community Support Room at Huachuca Mountain! 💙
This room currently features a washer, dryer, and storage cabinet—all donated to support our students. Its mission is to help reduce barriers to school attendance, such as not having enough clean clothes to wear. The ultimate goal is to expand this space to include hygiene and clothing resources, ensuring no student faces obstacles to attending school.
💡 If your family needs support, please contact the nurse at Huachuca Mountain, Regina Beaudry, at 520-515-2960.
We are incredibly grateful to our maintenance team and the generous community members who made this vision a reality. Together, we are proving that it truly takes a village to support our students. 🏫💪
