SWGHS Principal's weekly updates for January 13th

Hello Southwest!

As we head into the State Exam week, please make sure your student is studying, eating well and rested up ready to take any of their state exams this coming week.  Students should know exactly where they are testing on their designated days. If they are unsure, they need to ask their teacher. If students do not have an exam on the assigned day, they are not required to come to school due to the overwhelming need for adults to assist with the testing process. Last, there are NO EARLY CHECKOUTS on state exam days. The state exam schedule can be found within this blog.  Thank you for adhering to our expectations.

Mark your calendars... Monday, February 3rd, 6:30-8:00 pm - Walk the schedule night!  
If students are still needing to make up time with their teacher, they need to see if they are available after their testing responsibilities are up, or even on Friday, January 17. Please remember that if time is not made up, their academic grade will be assigned an F on the report card. 


Within this communication are the upcoming GAP Company Open House Schedule for the 2019-2020 Year.
Students must attend at least one of these with a parent or guardian, but they are encouraged to attend as many as they can. Each company will present information about their company as well as what positions they are recruiting for this year's GAP cohort. In addition most companies will give tours of their facilities. 

Use the Sign up genie within this blog to sign up since they ask that students and parents register on the sign-up genie but if you decide to go last minute, that is fine too.


This is a wonderful opportunity to see all that this program has to offer!
