Dear Families and Community Members:

We are excited to begin another great year. The energy was palpable among teachers and staff as we celebrated another great year of accomplishments and fulfilled last year’s promise to “rise to new heights” (see the year in review video below). We welcomed 26 new teachers to the Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District No. 35 (SCVUSD No. 35) team and set our focus on "setting a new standard" for the 2019–2020 school year.

As we work to set a new standard for education in our community, the Santa Cruz Valley Unified School Board has voted to hold an override and bond election in November. This election, if it passes, will not only provide the district with needed funding to provide the best education possible, it will also expand our community partnerships. Please see below for more information. As we strive to be the best district in Arizona, we appreciate your continued support and involvement in the success of your child.

Sincerely,

David Y. Verdugo
SCVUSD No. 35 Superintendent
