ππ§ National School Psychology Week (NSPW) is here, and the theme is "Let's Grow Together"! π±π
From November 6th to 10th we celebrate the incredible role of our school psychologists in fostering student success. π«π¨βππ©βπ«
School psychologists collaborate with families, teachers, administrators, and professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments, strengthening the connections between home, school, and the community. They bring expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior to help our children and youth thrive socially, behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. ππ
Let's honor and appreciate the vital work of school psychologists! πβ€οΈ #NSPW2023 #LetsGrowTogether #StudentSuccess πͺπ§‘

Last week the Bolts celebrated their academic achievements with an awards assembly. Students received awards for being Safe, Respectful and Responsible, being outstanding citizens and their educational accomplishments. Special recognition was given to all 4th through 6th grade students who scored proficient or highly proficient on the Arizona Academic Standards Assessment. Way to go Bolts!


Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to adverse weather conditions and the presence of lightning in a 10 mile area, we will be implementing a delayed dismissal procedure today at Huachuca Mountain Elementary School. The safety of our students is of paramount importance, and we are taking these precautions to ensure their well-being. During delayed dismissal all students who ride the bus or walk home will be kept in the school until the lightning has passed.
Parents are welcome to pick up their students by coming to the office to sign them out. Please bring a photo ID with you to the office.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation during these weather-related delays. Your child's safety is our top priority, and we are committed to making informed decisions that ensure their well-being.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
Sincerely,
Mary Garrett-Perez
Huachuca Mountain Elementary

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Bullying can impact a studentβs education, physical, emotional health, and their safety and well-being.
Together we can create communities that are kinder, more inclusive and accepting for all students. In support of National Bully Prevention Month we are encouraging all SVUSD students and staff to wear orange on October 18th to show unity against bullying.

Parents and guardians, just a quick reminder that tomorrow, October 17th is picture day! We can't wait to see all the beautiful smiles!

Through the Emergency Connectivity Fund we were able to purchase Chromebooks for home use in order to close the homework gap and support connectivity for all students.

All SVUSD schools and offices will be closed for fall break from October 9th through 13th. We are wishing all SVUSD families a safe and joyful fall break.

Bolt Power at its best last weekend where a Huachuca Mountain team of employees took part in the 17th Annual Bearcat Pull for Special Olympics. The ladies gave it their all and pulled the Bearcat 25 feet!


Second grade Bolts were completely mesmerized by dinosaurs last week thanks to the amazing staff at the Henry F. Hauser Museum. The students had the opportunity to learn about dinosaur fossils found here in Cochise County. They got to be paleontology artists by creating their very own dino. Lots of stories were read and students roamed the room like the dinosaurs did millions of years ago. Thank you so much to the City of Sierra Vista Library and the Henry F. Hauser Museum for a wonderful educational experience!



This Friday, October 6th is a half day at all SVUSD schools. Please note that all students will be released by the half day schedule. Buena High School at 10:30 am, all elementary schools at 11:15 am, and Joyce Clark Middle School at 12:30 pm.
