2012-13 School Year Calendar
The first day of school for the 2012-13 school year is Wednesday, August 8, 2012. To view the entire calendar, click HERE. Once again, Cartwright School District would like to thank the voters for successfully approving our Bond during the November 2, 2010 election.
After passage of the Bond, a new Cartwright Community Bond Oversight Committee was formed, consisting of community members, parents, and residents of the District. This is a Community/Citizen Advisory Board, operating with support from District administrators. The Committee meets regularly, overseeing the expenditure of Bond funds, ensuring that these funds are spent as voters intended, and that projects are completed wisely and prudently. Click HERE for more information.
To date, Bond funds have been used to repair existing exterior and interior lighting, and installation of new field lights at various sites throughout the District, air conditioning replacement at our schools, and the replacement of older school buses. Lighting and air conditioning replacements will contribute greatly to the energy savings efforts of the District. The renovation of Sunset Elementary School, which was built in 1961, was also completed. Students and staff returned to their newly renovated campus on January 4, 2012 after spending the first part of the school year on the former Byron A. Barry School campus.
This summer, Holiday Park Elementary School, also built in 1961, will be remodeled. The contractor will run two shifts, completing the majority of work between the last day of school, May 25, 2012 and the first day of school on August 8, 2012, so that students will not have to be relocated to another campus. This unique approach should prove to be less stressful on students, parents, and staff, as well as save on transportation costs associated with the temporary relocation of students.
Air conditioning replacements, school bus replacements, and approved remodeling projects, including Cartwright School (summer 2013), Heatherbrae Elementary (summer 2014), and Peralta Elementary (summer 2015) will continue as long as Bond funds are available.
Thank you for your continued support of the Cartwright School District.
