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
Rothery Education Conference Room

This event is not a presentation or formal meetingβ€”it is a listening tour designed specifically for Superintendent Romo to hear directly from our families. 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.
