🚨 October is Anti-Bullying Month! 🚨
At SVUSD, we are proud to say we have no tolerance for bullying in our schools. We are fully committed to educating our students on the importance of kindness and respect, ensuring a safe, supportive environment for everyone.
🌟 This year, we've implemented the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program across our district to further educate and empower our students. The program equips students and staff with tools and language to prevent bullying by fostering stronger, more positive peer relationships.
💙 In honor of Unity Day on Wednesday, October 16th, we invite all students to wear orange to show their support for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Together, we can stand up to bullying and continue to make SVUSD schools a positive place for all! 🧡💪 #AntiBullyingMonth

Last home game before fall break
Jayden Thomas made a significant contribution to the team's 56-0 victory at Pueblo on Friday night. He returned a punt for a touchdown of more than fifty yards and scored two receiving touchdowns totaling 110 yards.' Caroline always sets a good example for the JVA team with her energy and diligence, but many people noticed last week how much discipline she allowed herself to have in order to improve herself and her teammates.
⚠️ Buena Connectivity Update ⚠️
Buena's loss of connectivity is due to a fiber optic cable being cut off-premises. Cox is currently working on repairs. While they haven't provided an estimated completion time, we anticipate the issue will be resolved before the start of business tomorrow morning.
Thank you for your patience as we work through this!

⚠️ Important Update: Buena High School Network & Phones Down ⚠️
Buena High School is currently experiencing a network outage, which is also affecting our phone lines. Our IT department is working closely with Cox Communications to resolve the issue.
We apologize for the inconvenience and will keep you updated as soon as the problem is fixed. Thank you for your patience!

Deztany- In the first flag football game in the Buenas school's history, Deztany scored three touchdowns to seal the victory. Later, Deztany added a rushing touchdown on a punt return after scoring the first-ever touchdown on a kickoff return. Deztany was equally as effective when it came to playing defense. She was blocking passes when she was moved to the rushing quarterback, whereupon she repeatedly sacked the player, enabling Buena to secure the team's historic victory. Christian- With a low round of 40, Christian guided the golf team to win against Desert View last Tuesday. Additionally, he scored 66 points this past weekend in the Flowing Wells tournament, Christian used the Stableford scoring method, to lead the team in points. He led the team to eighth place out of sixteen teams, finishing 11th out of 91 golfers.
