Good evening Southwest community!
We still have plenty of report cards that have yet to be picked up. If you have not seen your child's report card, please call the school and ask for the guidance secretary, Ms. Sue Durant.
Wednesday is the ACT for Juniors. Seniors have a mandatory senior meeting in the Coggins Gym followed by an early release to visit colleges/universities, visit future job opportunities or shadowing, as well as working on applications. Freshmen and sophomores will be on campus all day. This is a big day for Juniors so please make sure they get some good rest, as well as prepare for the ACT in the days leading up to the exam.

Parents, please help me out with my previous requests to not drop off students in the athletic parking lot. We will now have a majority of buses dropping off in that lot, as well as our novice teenage drivers. With moving the buses to the back, we are hopefully helping out with our arrival times for students on buses, and also alleviating a little bit of the congestion at the front of our campus. Thank you for spreading this word.
Registration planning is
underway! Counselors are meeting with students who are enrolled in
English this semester over the next 2 weeks. If your child is in English,
please ask them 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.
With that being said, another great event is February 25th. This is our curriculum night for all under classmen and rising 9th graders. Spread the word! While all students and parents will be able to interact with teachers of all the curricular opportunities at SW, we will also have an AP potential overview as well as a FAFSA completion session for those who haven’t completed the FAFSA or have questions regarding it.
Seniors - Applications for the 2019 State Employees Credit Union Scholarship are now available on the SW High Counseling web page.
All eligible seniors must meet the following criteria:
· Must be a State Employees Credit Union member or is eligible for membership through a parent/guardian
· Must be an US citizen and resident of North Carolina
· Must be planning to attend one of the 16 UNC system universities
· Must have a 2.5 GPA or higher
· Must have demonstrated leadership, excellence of character, integrity and community involvement
· Must file FAFSA as part of the application
Please continue to 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. .
