Attendance predicts graduation. By ninth grade, attendance is a key indicator of whether you will graduate from high school. Let's make sure you walk across that stage! 🎓

Dear Sweetwater High School Families,

This afternoon, Sweetwater High School was placed on a brief hold while law enforcement conducted an investigation in the area. We want to assure you that at no time was there any threat to our students or staff.

The hold was implemented out of an abundance of caution and was lifted shortly after the situation was resolved. All students and staff remained safe throughout the duration of the hold, and our school day proceeded without further interruption.

We are grateful for the prompt response of local law enforcement and for the cooperation of our students and staff. As always, the safety and well-being of our school community is our highest priority.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Scott Cottenoir

Every day counts! Missing just 10% of the school year—about two days a month—can negatively impact your academic performance. That's considered chronic absence.

Your Attendance Matters.  Missed days add up: Half of the students who miss just 2-4 days in September will go on to miss nearly a month of school during the year.
Due to changes in state law, we must now have parent consent to provide any services for your student, including minor first aid. Please make sure to sign and return these forms to the school as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the campus nurse.

We understand these events can be unsettling, and we want to assure you that the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff are our top priority. We are grateful for the swift response of local law enforcement and the cooperation of everyone involved. We would also like to thank our staff for their quick actions in following our safety procedures. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.
