ππ October was a whirlwind of excitement in SVUSD, and it's time for a month in review! π
π« From educational honors to festive fall events, SVUSD schools were buzzing with activity. π©βπ«π¨βπ
π Throughout the month, several SVUSD schools held educational honors and PBIS assemblies, celebrating academic achievements and fostering a positive school culture. Village Meadows even had a fantastic field trip to the Cove! πποΈ
πΊπ Huachuca Mountain hosted a groovy Sock Hop Dance, while Town and Country had a Fall Festival. Bella Vista and PDS Elementary set the spooky mood with their Boo Bash and Fall Festival. JCMS introduced the "Trunk or Treat" tradition, a big hit among students and families. π·οΈπ
π The Sierra Vista Fire Department and Fry Fire Department set up mini smokehouses, making fire safety fun and educational for our young learners. π₯
π§‘ On October 18th, we all stood against bullying by wearing orange across our schools. Red Ribbon Week was a blast, with students dressing up and embracing themed spirit days. Carmichael and Town and Country had some furry friends visit, teaching students about animals and respect. ππΎ
π Mid-month, we all enjoyed a well-deserved fall break, recharging before diving into the second quarter. π
π Buena Fine Arts brought Halloween vibes with Halloween Shorts, and College and Career Night provided valuable resources for high school students and families. Colleges, the military, and local employers shared scholarship and career info. ππ©βπ¬
π» As October wrapped up, SVUSD schools hosted costume and character parades, ending the month on a creative and festive note. ππ
π SVUSD thanks all parents and families for their support, fostering a strong sense of community. The enthusiasm and engagement in October are a testament to the dedication and spirit of our students and families. π€ππ¨βπ©βπ¦βπ¦

ππ§ National School Psychology Week (NSPW) is here, and the theme is "Let's Grow Together"! π±π
From November 6th to 10th we celebrate the incredible role of our school psychologists in fostering student success. π«π¨βππ©βπ«
School psychologists collaborate with families, teachers, administrators, and professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments, strengthening the connections between home, school, and the community. They bring expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior to help our children and youth thrive socially, behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. ππ
Let's honor and appreciate the vital work of school psychologists! πβ€οΈ #NSPW2023 #LetsGrowTogether #StudentSuccess πͺπ§‘

Good morning JCMS Families!
It's Parent Teacher Conferences!
October 19 = 1:15-6:00
October 20 = 1:15-4:00
Any students with 3 or more Fs will have conferences arranged with all teachers. Our office staff have already reached out to these families for dates and times.
Teachers will be reaching out on PTC days with students earning a D or an F in their classes. These conferences will be completed via phone calls. If you would like to arrange an in person conference with your student's teacher(s), please reach out to the teacher(s) to arrange times.
If your student is earning a C or higher, a PTC is not required; however, if you would like to conference with your student's teacher(s), please reach out in order to reserve times.
We look forward to working together to promote better behavior and academics!
Respectfully,
Kathryn Wright
