Relief Bus Driver
Do you know anyone who may be interested in becoming a Substitute Bus Driver? PUSD is in need of additional substitute bus drivers for the new school year. PUSD has a training program to help drivers earn their CDL so no prior experience is required. Relief drivers can choose the times that work for them. Many often have other jobs or they are retired but are looking for ways to earn a little extra income.
If you are interested or have any questions, please see the attached flyer and complete this Google Form and somebody will reach out to you to discuss this in more detail.
PHS Bell Schedule 26-27
PHS Cell Phone/Personal Electronic Devices Policy
Why?
Cell phones are valuable and important communication devices in today’s world. Prescott Unified School District schools are committed to an academic environment where students are engaged in their learning, actively participating, and building academic endurance. However, use of cell phones during the instructional day severely impedes and distracts from the learning process.
CELL PHONES / EARBUDS / PERSONAL ELECTRONICS USE POLICY
Cell phones MAY be brought on campus and to school activities/events. According to Arizona State Law (HB 2484), all electronic devices, including cell phones, ipods, earbuds/headphones, etc, are not allowed during instructional time (during class) and must be placed in classroom personal electronic device holders when initially entering each classroom.
Students will not use their personal devices (phone, earbuds, etc.) during class time.
All teachers will have a personal electronic device holder in their classrooms that has assigned numbers corresponding to each student's classroom needs (ex: chromebook, seat, supplies, etc.).
Personal electronic devices will be expected to be silenced during the class period and will not be taken out of the classroom during the class period.
In urgent situations, students can be sent/called to the office for communication purposes.
If a student is using their personal electronic device during the class period or otherwise contributes to a classroom disruption, the teacher may contact security/administration to remove the student from class and the personal electronic device will be held by administration for the rest of the school day.
1st Offense: Phone confiscated student can pick up/referral to administration
2nd Offense: Phone confiscated parent must pick up/referral to administration
3rd Offense: Phone confiscated with parent pick up/referral to administration/Out of School Suspension
If students need to be contacted during school hours, please go through the school office. A phone is also available in the front office for students to use to communicate with parents. The school is not responsible for lost, damaged or stolen cell phones and/or electronic devices.
If your student will not be bringing a personal electronic device to school, please contact their teachers with a direct phone call or email to let them know that your student will NOT have a personal electronic device on campus.
PHS Dress Code Policy
Why?
Prescott Unified School District encourages students to take pride in their attire as it relates to the school setting. A spirit of support and cooperation between parents and school personnel is needed to ensure that students come to school appropriately dressed in attire that is appropriate to the school environment and does not pose health or safety hazards. Students should dress in a manner that takes into consideration the educational environment, safety, health, and welfare of themselves and others.
The primary responsibility for a student’s attire resides with the student and parents or guardians. Prescott High School is responsible for seeing that students attire is appropriate for an educational environment and does not interfere with the health or safety of any student.
Allowable Dress & Grooming
Students must wear clothing including both a shirt with pants or skirt, or the equivalent and shoes.
Shirts and dresses must have fabric in the front, back and on the sides (including straps).
Clothing must cover all undergarments.
Fabric covering all private parts and must not be see through.
Hats and other headwear must allow the face to be visible and not interfere with the line of sight to any student or staff. Hoodies must allow the student face and ears to be visible to staff.
Clothing must be suitable for all scheduled classroom activities including physical education, science labs, auto shop, and other activities where unique hazards exist.
Specialized courses may require specialized attire, such as sports uniforms or safety gear.
Non-Allowable Dress & Grooming
Clothing that resembles undergarments and is worn as an outer layer of clothing is not allowed.
Clothing that leaves a student excessively exposed.
Clothing may not depict, advertise or advocate the use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, other controlled substances, violence, or weapons.
Clothing may not depict pornography, nudity or sexual acts.
Clothing may not use or depict hate speech targeting groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious affiliation or any other protected groups.
Clothing, including gang identifiers, must not threaten the health or safety of any other student or staff.
Students may not apply personal care products in classrooms such as applying makeup, spraying personal care products (deodorant, perfume, cologne, body spray, dry shampoo, etc).
If school administration determines a student’s attire or grooming is not appropriate for the school environment or threatens the health or safety of others, then the student will be asked to change and/or student consequences per the PHS Student Code of Conduct.
PHS Parent/Student Handbook
Below is a link to the updated PHS Parent Student Handbook for the 2026-2027 School Year.
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 only.
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.
PUSD Everywhere Online Learning Update
Hybrid Learning through PUSD Everywhere is currently FULL. If you apply, please note that you will be placed on the waiting list.
Fully-Online Learning is still available at this time.
PHS Final Exam Incentive
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.
PHS Student Parking Permits
PHS sells parking permits for student parking for $100 per year. Please visit the bookstore with the students drivers license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration for the permitted vehicle. Parent signature will also be needed to complete the student parking permit process.
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.
MasteryPrep ACT Program
PHS is so excited to share that we have again received a state grant to allow us to continue to offer our ACT preparation program to all of our students. This program is called MasteryPrep and will be part of our extra 15 minutes advisory time built into our Fridays during 3rd period. This program can also be used by students and families outside of school at no cost. Check out the Infographic below for an introduction to this exciting program for PHS.

Attention PUSD Parents and Guardians
Did you know that there are often not enough substitute teachers to fill the needs of our schools? When this happens teachers and administrators often have to cover classes and programs or activities have to be cancelled for the day. You may be able to help. Have you ever considered supporting your child's school by serving as a substitute teacher? As a substitute teacher, you can select which schools you work in, the subjects or grade levels you want to support, and the days that work with your schedule. Our Teachers and Principals would love to have you serve as substitutes in their schools.
Substitute teachers and paraprofessionals earn $121 - $131/day depending on training.
Substitute teaching positions require a Bachelor's degree, IVP Fingerprint clearance card, and a criminal background check.
If you have any interest or have any questions, please fill out this short Interest form and somebody will contact you to discuss this further.
We hope that you consider supporting our students and staff by becoming a Substitute teacher!
