SWHS Principal's weekly messages and reminders for March 4...

Good evening Southwest community!

This week is School Social Worker's Appreciation Week. We are very lucky to have one of the best in the business with Mrs. Michelle Phillips. If you have ever worked with Mrs. Phillips, please assist me in expressing your appreciation. 

Registration planning is underway!  Counselors have met with all students except for a couple who were absent on the day that they met with their English classes.  Counselors will be meeting with these students next week.  Please ask your student about the folder that they received or will receive from their counselor.  The information includes an unofficial transcript, information about AP enrollment and AP Potential letters as well as information about Career & College Promise Dual Enrollment. 

The registration window will be open for students to complete the online registration process 3/8-3/17.  Instructions will be shared with parents regarding the process. 

It’s imperative that students and parents participate in the registration process as this helps us to decide which courses will be offered next school year. Feel free to click on this link to navigate to the registration process page.  Online registration.

GTCC will be hosting an open house for senior students that are interested in attending the college this coming Fall 2019 on April 4^th from 10:00am – 2:00pm. The location of the event will take place on the main campus in Jamestown and the Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CAM) which is located about half a mile from the main campus.

Students will be presented with an information session that will incorporate the admissions process, financial aid, scholarship opportunities and college transfer options. Campus tours will be included in the open house event so students can get a sense of what it is like to be on a college campus. Finally, the students will have an opportunity to engage with faculty representing several of the colleges programs.

Please RSVP by Wednesday March 6^th to your counselor if you wish to attend. Transportation is available!!!

This coming Friday is a Chic-Fila Day at the Palladium. Please visit Chic-Fila anytime on Friday during the morning, afternoon or night and mention SWHS so a portion of the profits come back to the SWHS PTSA.
