Thank you to the men and women who have served in our nation's armed forces. In honor of Veterans Day, all schools and offices will be closed today.
The school letter grades for the 2021-2022 school year came out and our school's did amazing!! We even had 2 schools that made a 2 letter grade jump up. Thank you to all the staff, students and parents who made this possible.
Stay tuned over the next few weeks for our celebrations and our plan to bring every site to an A school!

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!
Bella Vista's PBIS Superstars know how to be safe, respectful and responsible.
K-2nd grade is a Respect Superstar! Erika listens when the teacher is talking and if she doesn't understand what is being taught, she asks and doesn't just sit at her table. Erika doesn't waste time, she likes to get her work done.
The Responsible Superstar is from the 3th -4th grade block, Cecilia is always doing what she needs to do. She is responsible for her school work and listens to the directions.
The Bobcat Safe Superstar in from 5th-6th grade, Cecilia keeps her hands, feet and objects to herself. She is aware of her surroundings and makes sure our school environment is as safe as possible.
Our Bobcat Staff Superstars are:
4th Grade Teacher Ms. Burden is a PBIS superstar because of the specific language she uses in reinforcing the positive behaviors or her students and her students know what is expected in and out of the classroom.
5th Grade Teacher Mrs. Hill believes in always looking for the positives and reinforcing those behaviors. PBIS emphasizes the behavior we focus on as teachers, which in turn is repeated by the students and Mrs. Hill truly believes that!
Title 1 Paraprofessional Mrs. Callisto loves how PBIS works across campus. She gives points when she's at the crosswalk, during recess/lunch duty and is always looking for the positive actions of students throughout her day.
It is always fun to have Halloween at school! Many of our sites held costume parades for student's to show off their costumes. Even staff got dressed up! Check out some of staff Halloween Costumes from across the district. We hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween!

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. This event did NOT happen at a Sierra Vista Unified School District school. We will always notify all parents in the event an actual firearm is ever brought on campus. 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.
