Good evening Southwest!
I hope this message finds everyone doing well!
First and foremost, next Wednesday is a Holiday, Veteran's Day, a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I (November 11) to honor US veterans and victims of all wars. No School for staff or students. Thank you to everyone who has served.
Underclassman picture
day is Friday, December 4, in the freshman gym. Students will be photographed
following a specific schedule to prevent students from gathering in large
crowds. Schedule forthcoming. Health and safety protocols will be in place and must be followed or else those who can not follow these expectations will be required to leave the campus.
Seniors who have not taken their senior photo can do so on December 1, 2, or 3. Senior photos will be taken at the Lifetouch studio at 1210-C Bridford Parkway (the old Pier 1 building next to the Target). Seniors will sign up for an appointment time. Sign up sheet forthcoming. Due to Covid, seniors will only be able to take formal poses (tuxedo/drape pictures). No environmental/outdoor photos possible this year.
This video has been used district wide to provide information regarding pairing student and parent accounts in Canvas so parents can access what is due, what has been submitted, graded, etc. You’ll see in the video that one of the key pieces is a pairing code that can only originate from the student account holder.
Battle of the Books is getting ready to take off! Guilford County Schools has had a wonderful history of engaging high schoolers in reading and community. If you are interested in Southwest’s Battle of the Books club, please email Mrs. Hunt at huntv@gcsnc.com. There will be opportunities through Canvas and Teams for club meetings while maintaining safe procedures.
HOSA has planned to serve the community through various activities that we've been doing the past years.
These events will occur in the Media Center parking lot. Masks, social distancing MUST be utilized.
November 20th - "Cover the City" - collecting slightly or new blankets for the Homeless and Urban Ministry. A representative will come to collect the blankets this day.
December 18th - "Rylie's Blessings" - collecting new or slightly used toys to be donated to Wake Forest's Pediatric Unit playroom.
If you are looking for any basic needs: food, school supplies, housing, mental health resources or if you have any other need to assist your students, please contacts our School Social Worker, Emily Wright. She can be reached at 336-709-9537 or via e-mail at Wrighte2@gcsnc.com .
