Excitement for the Carmichael Bears was great when they had a chance to visit with special dogs twice in the last week. First, selected students got to meet with the Go Team dogs last Wednesday. The GoTeam dogs are a group of specially trained therapy dogs that provide comfort and support anywhere people could use love from a four-legged friend. Dr Roos, the Carmichael counselor, set up the special event and made it with the help of her student leadership team a wonderful heartfelt success.Thank you Go Team! Then, yesterday a K9 team from Fort Huachuca met with all grades to learn about working dogs. Sergeant Medina and Sergeant Hawthorne with their Explosive Detection Dog Chico demonstrated to the Bears how dogs find explosive materials. As a bonus, and the astonishment of the Bears, the team showed his patrol duty skills used for suspect apprehension. The students were very impressed and took full advantage of the chance to ask the team questions afterward. Thank you Sergeant Medina, Sergeant Hawthorne and Chico!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to adverse weather conditions and the presence of lightning in a 10 mile area, we will be implementing a delayed dismissal procedure today at Carmichael Elementary School. The safety of our students is of paramount importance, and we are taking these precautions to ensure their well-being. During delayed dismissal all students who ride the bus or walk home will be kept in the school until the lightning has passed.
Parents are welcome to pick up their students by coming to the office to sign them out. Please bring a photo ID with you to the office.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation during these weather-related delays. Your child's safety is our top priority, and we are committed to making informed decisions that ensure their well-being.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Bullying can impact a student’s education, physical, emotional health, and their safety and well-being.
Together we can create communities that are kinder, more inclusive and accepting for all students. In support of National Bully Prevention Month we are encouraging all SVUSD students and staff to wear orange on October 18th to show unity against bullying.
Does your student have a computer at home for their personal use? Would you like for your student to be creative and explore? Or being able to work on assignments from home on a school device? SVUSD is pleased to offer the opportunity to all parents to check out a home Chromebook for all registered SVUSD students. Through the Emergency Connectivity Fund we were able to purchase Chromebooks for home use in order to close the homework gap and support connectivity for all students. For more information please contact Atina Haynes at Atina.Haynes@svps.k12.az.us or visit the office at your school to receive the application.
Carmichael fifth grade students were building 3D animals and then determined the volume and surface area. In the project the students had to break down composite shapes into rectangular prisms first to find the volume for each, then add it all together. Beyond the mathematical aspect, the students engaged in research about the animals they were building. Overall, this project was a well rounded educational experience that combined creativity, mathematics, and research, which was engaging and enriching for all fifth grade students. Way to go Bears!
