Village Meadows Elementary School

Just like adults do, students sometimes get stuck, feel stressed or get overwhelmed at school. SVUSD's Exceptional Student Services Department is hosting a Coping Skills & Self Regulation Night for students and families to learn about ways to help navigate those feelings. Learn about resources available, practice activities that help refocus, and much more. Everyone is welcome to attend on Thursday, November 17th from 4-6pm at Town & Country Elementary Cafeteria.

Village Meadows has 3 amazing students who are our PBIS Superstars!! Deegan, Amy and Jason are all great kids who always are Safe, Respectful and Responsible. They go out of their way to help others and are always great examples of PBIS behaviors. Ms. Cangiolosi, Ms. Avery and Ms. Davis are the staff PBIS Superstars! They are always giving out points for those good PBIS behaviors and have set up their classrooms to encourage students to always be safe, respectful and responsible.

It is National School Psychologist week and here at SVUSD we have a great group that support our students! School psychologists provide direct support and interventions to students, consult with teachers, families, and other school-employed mental health professionals (i.e., school counselors, school social workers) to improve support strategies, work with school administrators to improve school-wide practices and policies, and collaborate with community providers to coordinate needed services. Thank you for shining bright in our school family!

The Cochise County Sheriff’s office identified an event at a Cochise County school about a student bringing a firearm and ammunition to school on August 29th.

Students and staff safety is a top priority and parent communication is critical. Thank you to all area law enforcement for protecting all Cochise County schools and children.
