Dear Huachuca Mountain Families,
We are pleased to inform you that school will continue as normal today, Friday, March 28th. The construction company has successfully set up a temporary repair to the sewage system. While they have provided port-a-potties as a precaution, they do not anticipate they will be needed.
Over the weekend, the company will continue working on the sewage system to complete full repairs.
A special thank you to the City of Sierra Vista and all of the crews who worked tirelessly through the night to ensure we could open school this morning.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we look forward to a great day of learning.


π Teacher Feature March: Ms. Leslie Cooley! π
Meet Ms. Leslie Cooley, one of our amazing 3rd grade teachers at Town & Country! Though this is her first year teaching 3rd grade, she brings 20+ years of experience in education, previously serving as a Title I & literacy interventionist and a Special Education para for 10 years.
π A Unique Teaching Approach!
Ms. Cooley and her colleague, Ms. Thuma, split subjects to enhance learningβMs. Cooley teaches math & science, while Ms. Thuma covers ELA, writing, and social studies.
π’ Multiplication Masters!
Her students are hard at work mastering multiplication tables, tracking their progress each week. Those who complete all 12 tables will celebrate with an ice cream party at the end of the year! π¦
π§ Daily Math Challenges & STEM Fun!
She keeps learning exciting with daily math challenges, where students solve word problems for PBIS points or small prizes. STEM Wednesdays bring hands-on activities like building the longest paper chain with only two sheets of paper, a ruler, and scissors!
πΆ Outside the Classroom
A Yuma native, Ms. Cooley loves traveling (Maine is a favorite spot! ππ―) and spending time with her mini schnauzers, Muffin & Milo. She even found a donut shop in Maine that makes potato donuts! π©
π¬ Principal Elson shares:
"Ms. Cooley exemplifies dedication, collaboration, and a passion for education. Her first-year achievements are extraordinary, and sheβs a tremendous asset to our school community."
We are so lucky to have Ms. Cooley at Town & Country! ππ #TeacherFeature #RoadrunnerPride #WeLoveOurTeachers #EmpoweringYou #SVUSDProudARatedDistrict

The construction company is actively working to resolve the issue, and we will provide you with the latest update before school starts in the morning. We appreciate your patience and support as we navigate this situation. Thank you for your understanding. SVUSD Administration
