Prescott Unified District

PUSD will create and support summer, extended day, and weekend programs. Additionally, there is the intent to extend preschool availability. PUSD recognizes all learning begins with rich and engaging instruction in the general education setting.  To this end, PUSD will pursue a rigorous program of professional and curriculum development to advance the capacity of our faculty and principles to create learning environments that meet students at their places of strength. Lively, engaging curriculum presented to students in ways that captures their creativity, imaginations and interest, is the first step towards ensuring all students have opportunities to succeed in their core learning. Teachers and principles must be given the resources and time to promote schools and classrooms where social and academic developments are integrated.  Parents must be assured that their students will experience an education that affirms all aspects of their student's self-concept and leads them to be responsible, compassionate members of a complex global society.

PUSD recognizes that students will need additional support to achieve graduation and demonstrate the strengths of career and college preparedness essential to succeeding into adulthood. Most importantly, we must ensure that all learning nurtures and protects the special bonds that develop amogh teachers, students, principals, and families who work together for the common good of PUSD.  Students who have a sense of connection to each other, their teachers, their schools and their communities will be more academically successful.
