SVUSD APP

Please make sure to download the SVUSD app. You’ll be able to connect with your student’s teacher(s) like messaging, you can get updates through streams and announcements, and even be connected to missing assignments. I also use it to send out messages and announcements to keep everyone updated on the happenings at BV. Here is the QR to directly access the app for either Apple or Android phone.

Sincerely,

Brenda Bland

Have you heard of PBIS?

PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support program. As a District, we are implementing this program at all elementary sites, JCMS and Buena. Talk to your students to see how they are being safe, respectful and responsible at school. You can also ask them if they have been earning PBIS points and what the points were for.

Parents, if you have not signed the Title 1 Notification Letter, please do so. The goal of Title 1 is to help every child get a high-quality education. Title 1 resources are directed toward students who need them most.

Know your rights.

As a parent of a child in a Title 1 school, you have the right to:

  • see progress reports on your child and the school

  • request information about your child’s teacher’s qualifications

  • help decided if Title 1 is meeting your child’s needs, and offer suggestions for improvement

Be a part of Title 1’s success. Participate in your child’s education and be aware of your child’s performance. If you have any questions, please call me at 520-515-2940 or email me at erica.j.archer@svps.k12.az.us
