What’s trending in Peoria Unified? Transporting our students to success! This time of year, it is easy to picture all the places our students will go, but how will they get to all of those places? Behind many of our students’ largest accomplishments is a bus driver who helped get them there. In fact, many students throughout Peoria Unified rely on bus drivers to get them to and from school safely. Without our bus drivers, students can’t make it to school, their big game or next performance. With them, our students can reach their full potential.   Interested in learning more about becoming a crtifiedd, professional bus driver?  Attend the Bus Driver Interest Meeting any time between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Tuesday, May 9 at the Transportation Office, 10721 N. 95th Ave., Peoria, AZ 85345.   Ready to get behind the wheel? Peoria Unified is here to support you! With outstanding benefits, state retirement eligibility, hands-on training and a team behind you, there is something for every driver through every stage of their career.

Safety remains our top priority in Peoria Unified. In seeing an increase in rumors of social media threats this school year, Peoria Unified launched a safety campaign this spring called See Something, Hear Something, Say Something, Do Something. The purpose of the campaign is to encourage students to come forward and tell a trusted adult if they see or hear something that does not seem right, and to not forward potential threats but to report it so that they may be properly investigated.   Today, we are joined by School Resource Office (SRO) Lisa Hale who serves Liberty High School. She shares more information about the role of an SRO, as well as, how we all play a role in school safety.    If you, or someone you know, needs to report a school safety issue, you can do so by calling our Safe School Line anonymously at 623-486-6199.  If a student needs additional support, they can call our Student Support Line at 623-412-5262 or the Teen Lifeline at 602-248-8336. You can learn more about the safety measures we have in place at peoriaunified.org/safety.
