Sierra Vista Unified School District offers to the parents of a child, whose 5th birthday falls between September 1 and January 1 of the upcoming school year, the opportunity to apply for early entrance to kindergarten. The child’s skills and maturity level have to 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 the Kindergarten Readiness Test (KRT). The Sierra Vista Unified School District administers the test. Testing dates for the 2023/24 Kindergarten class are June 20th and June 22nd. For more information please visit our website at https://www.svusd68.org/o/svusd/page/early-kindergarten-testing or call (520)-515-2743.

Thursday was the busiest day of the week with 1st grade visiting Texas Roadhouse, 3rd grade going to Bisbee to explore the Copper Queen Mine, and Mrs. Auger’s class visiting Grey Hawk Ranch. On Friday everyone had a chance to check out the lost and found items on the field to take home their belongings. Mrs. Vinch’s class worked this week on creating a taco truck using their math skills to determine the best perimeter and surface area of a taco and ended it with a tasty taco lunch.

HM - Pizza and Fractions- The Huachuca Mountain 1st graders took a field trip to Peter Piper Pizza on Friday the 28th. The group started out learning about nutrition and food choices before having a chance to add toppings to their personal pizza. While the pizzas were cooking the students showed off their knowledge of fractions. In order to win extra play points they had to practice fractions in their groups with the help of giant cardboard pizzas. After enjoying their pizza there was plenty of time for everyone to have fun playing games and collect their prizes. Thank you to the folks at Peter Piper for a great time!
JCMS 6th Grade Family Night. Last night JCMS opened its doors for families to stroll the campus, familiarize themselves with locations and ask questions. The Coyote Band welcomed the families outside on their way to the library along with PTSO Volunteers. After a short introduction by Principal Wright the visitors got to explore on their own, and if there were any questions the student council was around to answer them. Thank you team Coyote for welcoming everyone!

6th Graders are getting a tour of JCMS. All 6th grade students in our district took a field trip to JCMS this week to get first hand experience of the middle school. After a warm welcome by the Coyote Band and a short play performed by the theater class, the students were split up into smaller groups. Under the guidance of JCMS student council, the 6th graders toured the campus and got some insider tips from the 8th graders. Questions were answered and 6th graders were able to witness a passing period between classes. This is one of the biggest changes students experience when moving on to middle school, and for some can be a little scary. Being able to watch for themselves can help ease that fear.
On May 4th from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, JCMS is hosting a 6th Grade Family Night. The evening gives families a chance to tour the campus together. Thank you to everyone supporting these events!
