We recently had the privilege of recognizing Mr. Nino Casio as an Outstanding Educator!

Mr. Casio's Principal had this to say about him:

 

In the classroom, Mr. Casio’s patience and personal connections with the students allow him to meet their needs academically and socially. He devotes an incredible amount of time and invests great care into his preparation and delivery of dynamic, engaging, tech-savvy lessons. He ensures that his is a classroom in which students are accepted and challenged. He is highly reflective of his teaching and continually searches for new ways to enhance his craft and grow professionally.

In addition to this, Mr. Casio is also our Student Council sponsor this year. Student Council and he have been busy all year working on creative and meaningful experiences for our staff and students. Everything from guest speakers, skits, and dances during Dr. Seuss Week to honoring his colleagues with an Oscars Ceremony for Teacher Appreciation Week. As an example of his creative and generous spirit, Academy awards with personal greetings from the students were presented to Joe Carlson's teachers honoring their collective contributions to our school—a truly touching and amazing way to have the students build up and celebrate their teachers.

Mr. Casio is well respected by parents, students, and colleagues. He balances high expectations for student performance while ensuring that his classroom is a safe and enjoyable learning environment.

NCA in the News!

Superintendent Clay and Principal Reyna were recently interviewed by KGUN9 news about New Crossroads Academy! Click the Button below to see the clip and read the story!

Check out these images from Superintendent Clay's visit to The Be Kind Project and the Center for Academic Success - Douglas!

"The Center For Academic Success (CAS) Douglas is another AWESOME "Be Kind" school in Cochise County. I had the pleasure of visiting Pueblo Del Sol of SVPS and CAS-Douglas to celebrate our Be Kind initiative with the Be Kind Crew. Cochise County is a "Be Kind" county and proud of it! <3

Students want and need genuine positivity, receiving the message of respectfulness within the classroom and through collaborative organizations is a plus. The Be Kind Project "sings the same positive song" that our educators sing while helping students to encourage each other by being supportive, considerate, and helpful. Watch The Be Kind Project crew was fun, interactive, and displayed the power of interdependency."

Check out this interview of Superintendent Clay by CoolFM! Congratulations on your appointment Mrs. Clay!

Congratulations to all of our AMAZING Spellers!

We can't wait to see you all again in 2023!

IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED YOU SHOULD STRIKE OUT ON NEW PATHS, RATHER THAN TRAVEL THE WORN PATHS OF ACCEPTED SUCCESS

 

- JOHN D ROCKEFELLER 

We are all born with something in our DNA that promotes greatness.  Using a comprehensive systems-thinking approach, our educators, parents, and community members can work collaboratively to uncover the niche found in every student.  This information is powerful when it correlates with the needs of our society.  Education, when applied correctly, will provide economic independence for our students and economic success in our community, cities, states, and nation.
