Peralta School Named an A+ School
We're Proud... Congratulations to Peralta Elementary School for being named an A+ school by the Arizona Educational Foundation. On Thursday, May 16th, Peralta held a celebration for staff, students and their families. To receive A+ distinction, schools must submit a written application that requires many hours to complete. The application requires schools to show proof of parent and community involvement, a description of the current programs and practices, demographic information, along with the principal’s vision and commitment to excellence. Winning schools must demonstrate sustained high achievement or significant improvement. Those schools chosen for A+ distinction are recognized for their superior ability to meet the needs of their student populations. Schools designated as A+ retain their status for three years and then they may reapply for the A+ award. Congratulations to the students, staff and families of Peralta School for being named an A+ school! To read previous Cartwright District stories, click HERE.

Breakfast in the Classroom! Research has shown that breakfast is an important part of the day as students get ready to learn.
