The Dysart Unified School District conducted a districtwide “Attendance Matters” campaign the past three years in an effort to improve student attendance.
In addition to regular messaging about the importance of school attendance, the campaign also incorporates friendly competition among schools.
The 2025-26 year ended with Asante Preparatory Academy winning the attendance contest. It also featured a celebratory barbecue lunch April 24, followed by frozen treats Toyota of Surprise donated, along with other donated giveaways to reward the students for their consistent attendance.
