To our NUSD custodians: thank you for the care, pride, and heart you bring to our schools every single day.
You are often the first to arrive and the last to leave. You notice the little things, solve the unexpected problems, lend a helping hand, and make our schools feel like welcoming places for everyone.
Your work goes far beyond keeping our buildings clean. You help create spaces where our students can learn, our staff can thrive, and our school community can feel at home.
We are grateful for each of you and everything you do for NUSD. Thank you for being an essential part of our school family! 💛
Happy National Custodian Day! 🎉

Home-run Readers
"Step up to the plate and read!"
Home-run Readers is a 9-week or 7-week reading challenge that inspires students to read all the way to home plate—one inning at a time!
Launching in September & October, this baseball-themed reading program aligns with the Arizona Fall League season and runs through the end of October, offering kids a fun way to engage with books and the ballpark.
Timeline
• Program times start in mid-September to the beginning of October
• Variable weeks = innings of reading (EX: 7 weeks = 7 innings)
• Full completion = Free ticket to the Arizona Fall League Home Run Derby!
How It Works
1. Parent/Guardian registers the reader by scanning the QR Code
2. Students track their reading progress using a Homerun Readers tracker (one book per
week or chapters for older readers).
3. Teachers or families verify participation.
4. Students who complete all innings earn:
◦ 🎟 One student ticket to the Home Run Derby at Salt River Fields on Saturday, November 7th, 2026
🎟 One companion ticket for a parent, guardian, or guest
◦ 👪 Discounted family tickets
◦ 🎉 Recognition during the game as a HOME RUN READER!
Nogales Unified School District proudly celebrates Mr. Christopher Miranda, Principal of Desert Shadows Middle School, on receiving the Principal Leadership Star Award from the Principals’ Leadership Academy of the Arizona Department of Education. This well-deserved honor recognizes his outstanding leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to his students, staff, and school community. Mr. Miranda’s passion for education and belief in every student's potential continue to inspire those around him and make a lasting difference in the lives he serves. Congratulations, Mr. Miranda, on this remarkable achievement—we are proud to call you one of NUSD’s leaders!
Today, we remember September 11, 2001, and honor the lives forever changed.
We remember those we lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the courage, compassion, and unity that followed.
As a community, we move forward with hope—but we never forget.
Never Forget. Always Remember.
