Good evening Southwest community!
We are now heading into the beginning of exams.
While just a few teachers begin their exams on Tuesday, ALL teacher made exams begin on Wednesday and Thursday. These are regular days however, the bells are slightly altered on these days. While our staff will be sharing these exam day schedules with the students, please help us by reiterating them to your child. State exams officially begin on Friday with block one state exams. Students who do not have a state exam will not need to come to school on those days. Also, please know that state exam days end at 1:30. Buses will start their runs as soon as we dismiss from school. Please understand that the responsibilities to provide our students state exams means we use all of our teachers for administering and proctoring these exams.

The OneCard system has now been through 12 days of operation. We have seen great improvements in such a short time. Please reinforce to your student to be wearing the card at all times. We want the students in the habit of displaying the cards at all times, blue lanyard around the neck, not in the pocket, not inside the shirt, etc. As I have mentioned before, this is a safety and security layer that has been added to the school and we greatly appreciate your support with this project. Please know all students will be responsible for card and lanyard replacements come February 1st.
