One of the many points of pride I have as a Governing Board member is the multitude of programs offered to students in our Beverly Pingerelli Governing Board Clerk schools. One unique program helps students develop skills and behaviors that lead to success in college. AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, is an international college readiness elective that places special emphasis on writing,
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
critical thinking, teamwork, organization and reading skills. Most AVID students choose the elective all four years of high school with a focus on ful�illing their college dreams. Many of these students may be the �irst in their family to go to college. I shared this dream with AVID students, being the �irst person from my family to go to college. AVID students explore various careers and learn to navigate the college application process. Students learn important study and time management skills that will make them successful in college and practice those skills in challenging
courses, such as honors and Advanced Placement classes, all while focusing on community service. The Peoria Panthers organize and maintain a pantry, which includes food, hygiene kits and clothing for their community. The clothing closet offers business attire, including shoes and accessories, to help make a good �irst impression when interviewing for jobs. I am proud the AVID program at Raymond S. Kellis and Peoria High help prepare students to be ready to shape tomorrow.

Peoria Unified to Emphasize Digital Citizenship and Online Safety for Internet Safety Week Peoria Uni�ied will hold it’s seventh annual Internet Safety Week Sept. 28 – October 2. All district schools will place an emphasis on the importance of digital safety. Each day of the week, kindergartenthrough eighth-grade students will have an age-appropriate lesson covering Internet safety.
High schools will show video safety reminders during morning announcements. The topics covered in the lessons and videos will be: Be Safe Online, Appropriate Online Behavior, Cyberbullying and Social Media Interactions. With the vast digital world available to our children, digital citizenship and Internet safety has become an important factor to address with our students. It is necessary
for children to learn how to be good citizens and stay safe in an online, digital world. For more information about Internet Safety and to access last year’s parent presentation on this topic by Peoria Police Of�icer Darryl Rivers, visit www.peoriaud.k12.az.us and click on Parents, then Internet Safety.

Class of 2017 Will Be First Required to Pass Civics Test in Order to Graduate Kristen Pasinski, Director of Curriculum & Instruc�on
Opting for an early start to ensure student success, Peoria Uni�ied is piloting the process of the new state-mandated United States citizenship test this year to students in eighth- through 11thgrades. Beginning in the 2016-2017 school year, academic standards for social studies will include a requirement that in order to graduate, a student will need to answer 60 out of 100 questions correctly on a civics exam. Students will take the test online, which requires about 45-60 minutes to complete, and their scores will be automatically entered onto their transcripts. These questions are identical to the naturalization test used by the U.S. Citizenship and Im-
migration services. Sample questions include: l In what month do we vote for President? l When do we celebrate Independence Day? l How many amendments does the Constitution have? We will administer the civics exam to all of our eighth-grade students and then again throughout their high school years if they don’t earn a passing grade. In addition, we will test new-to-the-district high school students. Peoria Uni�ied’s kindergarten- through eighthgraders already receive instruction on 85 of the test’s 100 questions, while the other 15 are taught in high school. We are fully con�ident that we have a system in
Kristen Pasinski Director of Curriculum & Instruc�on
place that will allow an opportunity for our students to be successful in achieving a passing score on this civics exam and ful�ill the graduation requirement that this legislative update requires. We are also fully con�ident that the content is taught throughout our curriculum and that our teachers have the tools for student learning of these concepts and skills.
