Bullying Prevention "A student is being bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other students" (Olweus, 1993).Bullying behavior is meant to hurt another person and is carried out by someone who is seeking power or control over another person. There are three forms of bullying - physical, emotional, and social.Various resources are available for students, parents, school staff, administrators, and community members to assist in bullying prevention.

Completing an ADE-approved program satisfies the driver’s license law. A public or private high school may participate in the Arizona Department of Education’s Driver Education Program provided the following requirements are met:
Students receive 30 hours of classroom instruction;
Students receive 6 hours (or the equivalent) of behind-the-wheel instruction (BTW);
The class and BTW is taught by a certified teacher with a driver education endorsement;
The principal or superintendent verifies the school information.
