✨4th Grade Thinking in Action!✨

Our students dove into today’s “Spark Your Learning” challenge using the Building Thinking Classrooms approach! 💡
Working in small groups, they collaborated, shared ideas, and used critical thinking to solve real-world math problems. 🧮💬
We love seeing their teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills shine! 🌟

We also want to give a special shout-out to the Go Team Therapy Dogs who visited our school yesterday and today, bringing comfort, smiles, and a little extra love when we needed it most. 🐾💛

We’re happy to share that the student involved in the accident is now home with her family and did not suffer any major injuries.

This is Terri Romo, Interim Superintendent of Sierra Vista Unified School District. I’m coming to speak with you about a very important topic & we need our community's help.

As you have heard, we have an employee who has been arrested. Last night, I was contacted by the Sheriff’s Office and informed that they will be releasing an official statement encouraging families to share any information they may have regarding Mr. Benjamin. We stand united with the Sheriff’s Office in urging our community members to come forward with any and all information related to this matter or to any allegation of child abuse.

As shared by the Sheriff’s Office-
Due to the circumstances in this case, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who may have come into contact with Mr. Benjamin and experienced any suspicious/criminal activity to contact the Sheriff’s office immediately via SEACOM at 520-803-3550.

Even with all of the safety protocols school districts like SVUSD must follow when hiring staff-like fingerprint clearance cards, reference checks, etc….It takes an entire community to keep our students safe. We know it may not be easy, but we encourage anyone within this community to come forward and contact law enforcement whenever you suspect a child is in danger.

I’m a mom, this is my community, and I’ve dedicated my life to caring for children as an educator.

Once again…Please contact the Sheriff’s office immediately via SEACOM at 520-803-3550 or our local police department with any information related to this or any allegations of misconduct with a child.

We must stand together to protect our children. Please join me in this fight.

🌟 Professional Learning in Action! 🌟

Last month, 50 of our amazing teachers and leadership team members spent 2½ days in Scottsdale at the Solution Tree Conference, diving into powerful sessions on educator wellness, school transformation, and creating cultures of belonging. 💡💬

Your commitment to continuous improvement is what helps us #AchieveExcellenceTogether 💙📚

The Sierra Vista Unified School District Governing Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Terri Romo as Interim Superintendent for the 2025–2026 school year, effective July 1, 2025. Mrs. Romo brings more than three decades of dedicated service to SVUSD, having served as a student, teacher, principal, and most recently, Assistant Superintendent. A proud product of SVUSD schools, Mrs. Romo is deeply invested in the success of the district and the community it serves. “While I never envisioned myself pursuing the superintendency, I feel called to offer my leadership during this important transition,” Romo shared. “Sierra Vista is my home. I am a proud product of this district, and now I have the privilege of raising my children in the same community and schools that helped shape me.” Throughout her career, Romo has demonstrated a deep commitment to doing what is best for children. Her work has included extensive grant writing, securing millions of dollars in additional funding to support students and staff, and fostering a culture of integrity, transparency, and collaboration. The Governing Board selected Mrs. Romo to serve as a stabilizing force during the district’s transition, as the search continues for a permanent superintendent. "Mrs. Romo’s experience, compassionate leadership, and unwavering dedication to SVUSD make her the ideal person to guide our district through the year ahead,” said Governing Board President Donald Lee. “She understands our schools, our students, and the unique needs of our community.” Terri Romo will succeed Dr. Eric Holmes, who has served as Superintendent since 2020. The Governing Board extends its sincere appreciation to Dr. Holmes for his five years of service, leadership, and commitment to students, staff, and families. As the district prepares for a year of significant change—including the launch of the middle school academy concept and the closure of two school campuses in the 26-27 school year—Mrs. Romo stands ready to lead with empathy and decisiveness. “SVUSD is my home,” Romo stated. “I understand the pride each school holds and the deep impact this next phase will have on our community. I am honored to serve as a bridge during this transition, and I remain committed to strong, compassionate leadership.” Mrs. Romo holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Arizona and a Master’s in Education from Northern Arizona University. She is certified in teaching, administration, and the superintendency. Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Romo as Interim Superintendent and in thanking Dr. Holmes for his dedicated service to our district.
