Did you know that students who miss just two days of school each month are at risk of falling behind academically? Research shows that regular school attendance plays a major role in student achievement. That is why Cartwright School District is reminding families that every day in class counts.
Learning happens in real time. When students are present, they stay on track with their lessons, build strong friendships, and develop positive habits that will help them succeed in the classroom and beyond.
Helping Students Succeed Starts at Home
Parents and guardians are essential partners in building good attendance habits. Small changes in daily routines can make a big difference. Families can support regular attendance by:
Setting a consistent morning and bedtime schedule
Scheduling appointments outside of school hours whenever possible
Planning vacations around the school calendar
Talking with their child if they seem unmotivated to attend
Reaching out to teachers or school staff for help if needed
Celebrating Our Students
The district is proud to recognize students who have perfect or improved attendance. Their commitment to showing up and participating in their education is inspiring. Cartwright School District applauds their hard work and encourages all students to continue striving for strong attendance.
Facing Challenges? We Are Here to Help
The district understands that some families may face barriers to consistent attendance. Issues such as transportation, health concerns, or family emergencies can make it difficult for students to be in class every day. Cartwright School District is committed to supporting every student and encourages families to contact the district office at 623-691-4000 for help and available resources.
Attendance is more than just being present. It is about giving students the best chance to learn, grow, and succeed. We want every student to feel supported and every family to know they are not alone.
