Dear NUSD #1 School Community,

Santa Cruz County Emergency Management has launched Santa Cruz County Alerts, a free emergency notification system that helps keep families informed about emergencies and potential safety concerns in their communities.

Alerts may include severe weather, wildfires, flash floods, hazardous material incidents, air quality advisories, boil water advisories, and major road closures.

How to Sign Up:

Visit the Santa Cruz County website and navigate to Government → Office of Emergency Management → Popular Links → Santa Cruz County Alerts.

Scan the county-provided QR code for quick access.

Select the communities and types of alerts relevant to your family.

Mobile phone users must register to receive alerts. Existing, unblocked landlines are automatically included. Signing up is free, although standard text or voicemail charges may apply. The county also confirms that it will not share addresses and phone numbers.

We encourage all families to register for this important safety resource to stay informed and help protect their households during emergencies.

Thank you for helping us keep our school community safe and informed!

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!

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.
