Badger Pup Bulletin

AASA testing starts for our students in April. As you know, we have been busy preparing and reinforcing the skills necessary for students to demonstrate their learning. Even though this assessment is a snapshot - one single perspective - it is important that our students have every advantage to do their very best. By working together, we can make your child’s test experience positive and successful. Here are some ways you can help your child be successful on their upcoming tests:

• All students need wired headphones for testing.

• Make sure your child attends school on testing days and arrives at school on time. Please try to avoid scheduling outside appointments on testing days.

• If your student will be gone on one of the testing days please let the office know so they can plan for another day to get the assessment made up.

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to emphasize the importance of regular school attendance and how it impacts your child's academic success and overall development.

Every school day offers valuable opportunities for learning, collaboration, and growth. Consistent attendance ensures that students can engage fully with the curriculum, build essential skills, and strengthen their understanding of key subjects. Missing school can lead to gaps in learning, which can affect future academic progress and make it harder for students to catch up.

In addition to academics, regular attendance helps foster positive social skills, self-discipline, and a sense of responsibility—traits that are essential for success both inside and outside the classroom. By prioritizing school attendance, we are setting our students up for success in the future.

We understand that there are sometimes unavoidable circumstances that may prevent attendance, and we are here to support your child in those times. Please feel free to reach out if you need any assistance or guidance in helping maintain consistent attendance.

Together, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education!

Warm regards,

Mile High Administration

1) Will it ever snow this year?? Maybe this weekend! We are approaching the time of year when snowy or icy roads may impact our school days. Please visit our PUSD website for full information about potential 2-hour delays or cancellations.

Some highlights:

• Student and staff safety is our highest priority, with in-person instruction another top priority.
• When roads may be snowy or icy, we consult with the City’s Streets Department, with local weather experts, and with our PUSD Transportation Department to make a call if school can be held on our regular schedule.
• We continue to closely monitor the forecast and actual weather and local road conditions as late as 5:00 am, when for busing reasons we must make a call about a regular schedule or a 2-hour delay. (If the forecast is definite that a delay will be necessary the following morning, we can sometimes make that call the previous evening.)
• Information about school delays/cancellations will be posted on our website by 5:30 a.m. Notices will also be sent by email, text, and our PUSD app. Please be sure that your contact information is up to date with your school.
• Prescott has a variety of elevations and streets. While school attendance is very important, if your family determines that your circumstances make it unsafe to commute, our schools will be understanding.
• If school is canceled or delayed, there are no scheduled before-school clubs or classes.
