Crazy Hair Day at Cartwright! 💙💛🤪

Our Cougars showed up with some seriously creative hair today! From bows and clips to pumpkins, spiderwebs, wild ponytails—and even a certain teacher who went ALL IN with the blue! 😂💙

We love seeing our students have fun, show their creativity, and bring that Cougar spirit!

🐾 Go Cougars! 🐾

🪙 **Cartwright is declaring a PENNY WAR!** 🪙

November 3–18, our scholars will compete in a school-wide Penny War while helping support families in our Cartwright community! ❤️

Money raised will help provide **Thanksgiving meals for approximately 10–15 families**. Students can earn positive points for their grade level—or use silver coins to sabotage the competition! 😄

🏆 And there’s a little extra motivation: the winning grade level will get the opportunity to **water-balloon our administration!** 💦😂

Check out the graphic for all the details, start saving those coins, and let the Penny War begin! 🪙🏫

Happy Monday- it's testing week and SPIRIT WEEK- we start the week with twins day...

Families and educators filled the Cartwright Training Center this morning for a Teacher-Parent Workshop centered on early childhood activities and kindergarten readiness. Governing Board President Lydia Hernandez, board member Denice Garcia, and Acting Superintendent Dr. Alfredo Barrantes welcomed families and took part in the classroom activities.

This week, our students are discovering dragon fruit, a vibrant and delicious fruit native to Central America and Mexico, now enjoyed around the world! Through this weekly experience, students will explore fruits from different countries, learn about their origins and cultures, and discover new flavors while building healthy eating habits. At Cartwright, learning goes beyond the classroom...sometimes, it starts with a bite!

Join us for spirit week each day is a different shirt

Good evening, Cartwright families!

Picture Retake Day is coming up on Thursday, October 1.

If you are not happy with your child’s school pictures and would like them retaken, please send a message to your child’s teacher through ParentSquare by this Friday so they can be added to the list.

📷 Pictures will ONLY be taken for:
• Students who missed the original Picture Day
• New students who enrolled after Picture Day
• Students whose families have requested a retake

The entire class will NOT be taking pictures again.

If you are happy with your child’s school pictures, you do not need to do anything.

Thank you in advance for helping us make Retake Day run smoothly! 💙
