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.
Who is ready to start school?!?!?!
All SVUSD schools have their first day tomorrow. We are excited to have everyone back after the summer break. Just a few reminders:
Buses will be out in the community so please be cautious when driving. There are a lot of first day jitters so routes may take a little longer than normal.
Drivers, be on the lookout for all school zones and remember to slow down.
The national free meal program ended last school year so meals are no longer free for all students. Be sure to load your MySchoolBucks account so your students can buy meals if they need.
All students at Carmichael Elementary still receive free meals.
Tomorrow is an early release day. Elementary ends at 12:45pm, JCMS ends at 2:15pm and Buena ends at noon.
We cannot wait to see everyone tomorrow!

All About Kindergarten Early Entrance Testing
Sierra Vista Unified School District allows the parents of a child whose 5th birthday falls between September 1 and January 1 of the upcoming school year to apply for early entrance to kindergarten if the child’s skills and maturity level indicate kindergarten readiness. The intent of the early entrance program is to make kindergarten available to younger children who demonstrate above-average performance as measured by early entrance assessments administered by Sierra Vista Unified School District No. 68.
Testing dates for the 2022-2023 school year are:
June 8, 2022 8am-12pm
June 24, 2022 12pm-4pm
Appointments will be made May of 2022
