Supporting Your Neighborhood School Helps Your Community Peoria Unified, one of Arizona’s largest unified school districts, prides itself on a 95 percent high school graduation rate, excelling schools, award-winning teachers, high AIMS test scores, specialized signature programs and championship sports programs. WWW.PEORIAUD.K12.AZ.US
The day is fast approaching when I will no longer have a kid in a Peoria Uni�ied School. Don’t blink! It happens to all of us sooner than we think. So, Kathy Knecht once you no Governing Board longer have kids in school, why bother supporting your neighborhood school? Here are some great reasons why:
1. Your property value is directly related to the quality of the schools in your community. Ask a realtor. High performing schools is at the top of many home-buyers’ lists. 2. Crime rates and teen pregnancy rates are inversely correlated to graduation and achievement rates. 3. We need a highly skilled workforce to keep America going strong through the 21 st century; Highpaying jobs boost the economy and support a
tax base capable of sustaining programs we all count on, like Social Security. What happens in schools affects all of us in countless ways. But, sometimes these non-student bene�its get forgotten by people who no longer have school-aged kids. Fortunately, we can remind them. It matters. As Abraham Lincoln said, “Public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed.”
EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY, PREPARED TO SHAPE TOMORROW

Participation in October Census is Essential for Peoria Unified and Community
OCT 2015 PULSE | PG 4
The City of Peoria, along with the U.S. Census Bureau, is conducting a special door-to-door, middecade census beginning Oct. 1. As new homes, businesses and industries move into our community, it’s vital that we document this change with certi�ied census counts. The State of Arizona allocates a portion of state income tax, sales tax, and gas taxes to cities. These
monies are directly used for important services such as public safety, water services, roads and more. Such funds are distributed by population, so having an accurate census count is essential. The City of Peoria is taking advantage of an opportunity to receive more funding to meet the needs of a growing community.
Help to make a difference in the community by answering your door and taking the census survey. Census takers are from the community and could even be your neighbor. For more information about the special census, call 623-773-7624.
Students & Parents Invited to Explore Career Options Event at Peoria High, Nov. 7 Peoria Uni�ied will hold it’s third annual career exploration event for students and parents, 9 a.m.- 12 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 7 at Peoria High. The purpose of the event is designed to help high school students develop
(CTE) opportunities. Students currently enrolled in CTE programs, and college, military and tech school representatives, as well as business and industry partners aligned with each CTE program, will be available to answer questions
experience that leads to industry credentials and college credits in the medical, engineering or technology �ields. Parents can learn more about cost-saving dual enrollment opportunities which means a student can earn high school and college credits simultaneously at a fraction of the cost of college tuition. Students enrolled in a program of study can earn industry credentials and/or college credits toward an Associate’s degree and/or a Bachelor’s degree while in high school. Last year, more than 300 elementary and high school students and their parents attended the event and toured through classrooms and labs, learning more about each career option from more than 40 students and instructors.

Parent/Teacher Conferences Oct. 15 & 16 Early Release
AzMERIT Test Can be Topic During Parent Teacher Conference, Oct. 15-16
Elementary schools that start at 8 a.m. will dismiss at 10 a.m.; schools that start at 8:40 a.m. will dismiss at 10:40 a.m. Dr. Heather Cruz Deputy Superintendent
In November 2014, the Arizona Board of Education adopted a new statewide a c h i eve m e n t te s t fo r students called AzMERIT. This new assessment was given to students in third grade through high school for the �irst time in the spring of 2015. It replaces the previously administered AIMS test in reading, writing and math. The AIMS Science test will still be given to students in
grades 4, 8 and 10. Parents will soon receive a comprehensive score report with detailed information of the English language arts and math portions of the AzMERIT test. This test represents just one of many measures that gauge your student’s progress. The results, while meaningful, should be taken in the context of how your child is doing with homework, quizzes and class participation. The AzMERIT test m e a s u re s re a l - wo r l d skills, like critical thinking, p ro b l e m - s o lv i n g a n d analysis. AzMERIT sets a more realistic benchmark for student performance. Because it is a completely new test , scores may look different than AIMS.
Scores that seem lower than before doesn’t mean students are doing worse; it means the bar has been raised higher. A law adopted in 2015 provides students, teachers and schools with a two-year transition period to adjust to the new AzMERIT exam in the 2014-15 and 201516 school years. During this time, our state’s accountability system, including school letter grades, are placed on hold. Visit www.ArizonaAimsHigher.org/AzMERIT for more information. Parents are welcome to discuss questions they have about the AzMERIT scores they will soon be receiving during a Parent/Teacher Conference Oct. 15-16.
