• Student Drop Off & Pick Up

  • For anyone dropping off or picking up students from our PHS campus, please refer to the attached map and following procedures below.  

• • • 1. The green dotted area is the preferred route for student drop off and pick up.  Parents should pull forward as far as possible along the main building to help keep the traffic from backing up in the north lot.

• • • 2. The yellow dotted section in the roundabout is reserved for buses and special circumstances.  

• • • 3. The purple dotted section is our bus stop.  Students who ride our buses in the morning will be dropped off at this bus stop and will make their way around to the front lawn to enter the building.  After school, students who ride the bus home, will meet their specific route at this same spot.

• • • PHS Drop Off & Pick Up Map

• PHS Final Exam Incentive (Updated for 23-24)

  • Students who earn a pre-final exam semester grade of 85% or higher in a class and are not on the No Credit List (10 or more total absences or 5 or more unexcused absences) will have the option of being exempted from the final exam for that PHS-only class. 

    • Students who earn an exemption in a class may still have the option of taking the final exam, which will be calculated into their semester grade. 

    • Dual enrollment classes, CTED classes, and online classes have separate requirements, and cannot be included in this exemption.

• Attendance Reporting

  • If your need to communicate any attendance concerns, please use the attendancephs@prescottschools.com email or call our attendance line at (928) 445-0900

    • To excuse an absence for the entire day or for a specific class period, specific information is needed for the absence by the State Department of Education. Therefore, the attendance clerk needs to know if the absence is due to illness, doctor appointment, mental or behavioral health, homelessness, bereavement, time necessary to process for the armed forces, family emergencies, family vacation/out of town, court order absences or out-of-school suspensions. A parent, guardian, or emancipated student must excuse the absence. Students are responsible for any make-up work during their absences. Students should see their teachers for due date timelines.  Excused absences count toward the nine (9) absences allowed each semester before loss of credit. 

• PUSD Transportation

  • Prescott Unified School District strives to provide a safe environment for all students. This includes transportation. We’ve had several vehicles approaching our school bus that have flashing red lights and the stop-sign arm out while we are loading and unloading students, driving right past the school bus. This is a huge safety concern that we feel needs to be shared with our parents and community. 

Arizona State Law requires all vehicles to remain stopped until the school bus moves ahead or until the stop-sign arm and flashing lights are no longer shown. 

Arizona State Law also states that you are not required to stop for a school bus on a divided roadway when traveling in opposite directions. A divided roadway is one in which the road is separated by a physical barrier such as a fence, curbing, or separation of pavement. Roadway striping by itself does not constitute a physical separation of the roadway. 

Prescott Unified School District would like your assistance in sharing this information with your friends and family.
