Did you know that every day in school counts? In the Sweetwater District, we believe that consistent attendance is key to unlocking a world of opportunities for our students!

Missing school can have significant impacts, not just on academic performance, but also on social skills and emotional well-being. Each absence can create gaps in learning, making it harder for students to keep up with their peers. Let's work together to ensure every student has the chance to thrive!

Welcome Back, Sweetwater!
