I would like to start off by saying that the first 5 days have been absolutely amazing. With that being shared, please take this 3 day weekend to enjoy your family and friends before we start right back up on Tuesday.
As we finished 5 days of the school year, this puts us midway through the schedule changing window of 10 days. As we have mentioned before, schedules often change due to enrollment changes, under enrollment for classes, options to enroll at GTCC, etc. As a parent myself, I understand the frustrations this may cause if your child is affected, but I can assure you that we have to look at the overall best interest of all students at this school. Please be patient with us as we complete the next 5 school days as it relates to scheduling.
Friday - we will have club day during all lunches. Please guide your child in finding a club that he/she can participate in. We strongly believe that all our students should be involved in something, whether it be a club or a sport. If your child is not already involved in any activity at school, or away from school, please encourage your child to check out our long list of clubs on Friday during the lunches.
Parents of Sophomores and juniors. All Sophomores and Juniors will be taking the PSAT this year. The date is currently scheduled for October 11th.
Parents of seniors, please join us for an informative seminar on Say Yes and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) On Monday September 11 at 5pm. This will be before we start the Walk the Schedule event which starts at 6pm.
Please remind your child that dress code is back to normal starting this week. Feel free to reference the dress code on the SWHS website under the quick links. Feel free to navigate the school's athletic website if you would like to purchase spirit wear directly from the athletic department! www.cowboysports.org. Freshmen shirts have been created as well and can be purchased through the 9th grade Assistant Principal, Mr. Miller. There will be additional opportunities to purchase SW attire throughout the year.
Go ahead and mark your calendar for the 1st semester, PTSA Walk The Schedule night, or as some of you may see it as Open House. This event will be September 11th and will start at 6:00 in the auditorium, transitioning into walking your child's schedule and ending at 7:30. Please remember to take a copy of your child's schedule with you to this event.
As it relates to the weekly athletics, please feel free to navigate to the www.cowboysports.org website for detailed information.
