    Dear Cartwright Families,
     
    Happy New Year!
     
    I sincerely hope that 2024 is a year like no other! In the Cartwright School District, we are starting our third quarter of teaching and learning. We know that it's been a couple of weeks since our student scholars have been in school, so we have plans to review expectations and then hit the ground running with rigorous, high academic coursework and activities. The Spring Semester is a very important time of the school year. It is a time when you will start to see your child learning and progressing rather quickly. Depending on the grade level of your children, you might start to see them reading and writing sentences and paragraphs for the first time. You should hear them using challenging "vocabulary" and discussing topics and content that ask them to think critically. If they are in eighth grade, you might start to hear them talking about preparing for high school and all that comes with that. Let's also not forget about our athletes and the after-school events, including our annual Cartwright Track meet that takes place every Spring. There will be invitations to musicals, band programs, and competitions of all kinds. All these experiences and opportunities are in place to ensure preparation for a successful future and a bridge to college. Having conversations with your children, our scholars, about higher education, beyond high school, in early elementary and throughout their time in Cartwright is essential. Research shows we must help our scholars see themselves in college, a trade school, or thinking about what they want to do when they become adults early and well before they start high school.
     
    Speaking of success, be sure to be on the lookout for the banners throughout the Cartwright School District. These banners highlight graduates from our district, and we couldn't be prouder. I am inspired every day by the work of our staff and your children. Thank you for entrusting your children to us to be able to educate them and prepare for their futures. We are your partners, and I am grateful.
     
    Sincerely,
     
    Dr. LeeAnn Aguilar Lawlor
