Off to a GREAT Start!

Today is the last day of Teacher Work Week.  We are excited about the beginning of the 2012-13 school year.

Wednesday was an awesome day for the incoming 9th graders - the Class of 2016.  Orientation during the day and then a family picnic that evening.  Another outstanding group of scholars waiting to add their talents to Southwest.

Monday, the 27th is the first day with 7 periods and classes starting at 8:30 am.  As with every start there may be a couple things we need to fix but in general it looks as though the planning and preparation has been beneficial.  We have a few students we need to meet and discuss some course options but in general it appears to be set for a good day.

We will announce to students how to request meetings with counselors.  We know some students attended summer school and made some other plans over the summer.  We will adjust as we discover the needs.  Students are requested to followed the printed schedule. 

This is an excited and busy time.  Welcome back to another great school year.
