Students in third- through twel�h- grades can create a visual image, photo or video that best represents the contest theme, “Don’t Be Mean Behind the Screen.”

Ensuring Student Success Through Rigor Standards It is wonderful that families and community members are aware and have questions about Arizona’s Career and College Ready Standards, our state’s version of Common Core. The standards are a guide for the concepts students should master at a particular grade.

They will allow us to measure how well children are learning from school to school and state to state, making Kathy Knecht our graduates and our Board Member state more competitive.

Rolling out a new program has challenges, but our district and its staff are fully invested in a successful transition and good outcomes for students. Two important points we want everyone to understand:

1. Standards are “what” is taught, and is determined by the state. Curriculum is “how” standards are taught, and is determined locally.

2. The federal government uses the standards as one of several criteria for states’ eligibility for grants. But the standards were not developed by the federal government.

The standards were developed by a coalition of states and adopted by Arizona in 2010. Since then, Peoria Uni�ied’s teachers and curriculum experts have been aligning existing lessons and developing new ones that meet the standards’ goals of increased rigor, more opportunities for critical thinking and integration across subjects. Their local perspective and experience ensures that the curriculum is well suited for Peoria Uni�ied’s students.

Schools will release early for MyLife Days either Nov. 20 or Dec. 4.

A MyLife Day provides the

eighth-grade student an opportunity to take a �ield trip with their classmates to explore the high school they may be attending next fall. In about three-hours they will learn about the variety of academic programs, class electives and types of classes required for speci�ic careers from guidance counselors and career center specialists.

During a MyLife Day high school �ield trip, an eighth-grade student can explore the wide variety of unique programs – from the arts to college-level credit courses – to help prepare them with the 21st Eighth-graders may visit the Media Produc�ons lab during MyLife Day field trip to their high school.

Century skills needed to be successful.

In addition, eighth-graders can tour labs and shops of the 23 Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes offered, such as culinary arts, engineering, �ire science, sports medicine and media productions. Students will have more opportunities to learn about each of these CTE programs during informational meetings held at all high school campuses in December and January.

MyLife Days is just one component of the district’s award-winning MyLife program which prepares students for college and careers by exposing them to career pathways as early as elementary school. Most recently, the program received the 2013 Quality of Life Enhancement Best of the West Award from WESTMARC.

Wishes Granted to Students at Zuni Hills and Pioneer The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the “wishes” of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Recently, Make-A-Wish Arizona visited two campuses to surprise students.

A Zuni Hills Elementary first grader got a big surprise at school when Make-A-Wish Arizona presented Dylan McQueen with a family Disney Cruise.

Dylan’s wish is to go to Disneyland, but having a heart transplant as a baby, his ac�vity is restricted, especially on rides at Disneyland.

NOV 2014 | PG 2

Make-A-Wish granted the wish of Pioneer Elementary eighth-grader Kaylee Wilson who was born with Heterotaxy with Asplenia Syndrome. She and her family will spend a week in Atlan�s where Kaylee will swim with dolphins.

Keeping Our Schools Safe and Clean

Good Health Habits Can Help Stop Germs

Peoria Unified has been in frequent communica�on with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health and is following their direc�on on ensuring a safe and healthy environment for staff and students on all school campuses.

As a precau�on, surfaces are disinfected daily which include hard surface areas and larger general areas where students frequent.

In addi�on, staff, students and the community are encouraged to be diligent about prac�cing good hygiene.

Every year, millions of children in the United States experience respiratory illnesses that cause coughing, sneezing and fever. The Maricopa County Department of Public Health indicates it is cold and �lu season and respiratory illensses are caused from water droplets shared by coughing, sneezing and talking. The are also preventable by practicing good hygiene.

No Rain Delay for Oakwood’s Annual Walk to School

A li�le rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the Oakwood Elementary kids, parents and teachers who par�cipated in the Na�onal Walk to School Day on Oct. 8. Peoria Police Officers and Firefighters closed Sweetwater Ave. to traffic and escorted the hundreds of par�cipants to school during this annual event.

Parents Share WOW! Stories of Raymond S. Kellis Educator Parents, staff and even students have let us know when they were WOW’d by a special employee.

Last month, three separate WOW! stories were submitted to

Michael Wakeford at Raymond S. Kellis High f ro m p a re n t s To nya Powell, Judy Gates and Donna Coppinger. Here is what Donna Coppinger shared with us:

“Mr. Wakeford is unique. I was hesitant about sending my son with Down Syndrome to Kellis for fear of the unknown. A�er my first mee�ng with Mr. Wakeford, I just knew I made the right decision. My son is now a junior and I could not be more pleased with the progress he has made and with the environment I believe Mr. Wakeford has set forth for this school. He has unified typical students with the special educa�on students and his compassion and dedica�on is above and beyond any expecta�on I have ever had. He truly is amazing. When my father and brother passed I o�en wondered who would fill that male role model void for my son.

Mr. Wakeford and his colleagues (whom Mike Wakeford I have asked, “so what made you want to be a part of the special educa�on program? They all replied “Coach Wakeford”). That, in itself says it all. This man not only spreads awareness about special needs and the unifica�on of all children, he brings along those who share the same values. Our community, city, school and state are a much be�er place because Mr. Wakeford is in it.”

WOW! stories are shared weekly with Peoria Uni�ied staff in the Bulletin Board, a newsletter emailed to all staff. Our friends at Horace Mann generously sponsor WOW! stories and present gift cards to staff members who are featured in the Bulletin Board.

If you have a WOW! story that you like to share, �ill out the online form at www.peoriaud.k12.az.us, go to Departments then, to Public Relations.

Give Yourself Credit and Support Your Local School, too Tax credit contribu�ons support extracurricular ac�vi�es in public schools which enrich the lives of students. One hundred percent of the funds go directly to the school and program selected by the donor.

Arizona allows individual taxpayers a tax credit up to $200, or up to $400 as a married couple filing a joint return. A credit may only be used to the extent it reduces a tax liability to zero. Any unused amounts may be carried forward for not more than five consecu�ve years.

A tax credit contribu�on can be directed to a district school with the greatest need, or designated for a specific student’s extracurricular ac�vity, such as: field trips, athle�cs, band (high school only), character educa�on, tutoring, tui�on for Kindergarten Academy and the EXCEL pre-school program.

An extracurricular activity requiring a participation fee for junior high students are SkillsUSA compe��ons. Technology Life Careers (TLC) - a two-year required course for Peoria Unified 7th and 8th graders - offers SkillsUSA state-wide competi�ons as part of the curriculum.

TLC incorporates and supports College and Career Readiness Standards and partners with the community - business, industry, college, university, tech schools and parents - to ensure students learn current technology, workplace standards and skills needed to be successful.

Peoria Unified offers several ways to make a tax credit contribu�on: online at www.peoriaud. k12.az.us or from the district’s mobile App. A pre-printed form and envelope are included in the 2014 Annual Review recently mailed to all district households and can be returned by mail

by Dec. 31. A form can also be obtained at all schools and the District Administration Center, 6330 W. Thunderbird Road.
