Wednesday - Day three - Yes, School is Open

School is open and learning is happening!

The Southwest High School doors are open and students are pouring in for another exciting year of learning and excellence.  The path to success has never been guaranteed nor easy.  The Southwest Laker students understand the idea of hard work, effort and endurance are important as keys for success for the future.

School is never an option.  Whether a person chooses to participate is an option.  Staff have prepared another series of rewarding and productive lessons to promote learning, 21st century skills and success.  Safety and the well being of our students, families and staff are vital and will never be compromised.  At the same time we will not lower our expectations of high quality instruction for tomorrow's leaders.

Water is being distributed throughout the building this morning prior to the start of school.  Water has been available throughout the building since the beginning of school.  There are water cooler on every floor and in most cases more than one.  Five new water bottle filler attachments have been installed thanks to Green Team and Community Education - two in West building and two in East building and one is cafeteria.   Teachers monitor student conditions and are concerned about the heat and the safety of students and staff.

It is summer in Minnesota.  Snow is predicted to happen within 90 days.  Start trying to remember where you stored the snow scrapper for the car windows.

School is open and we are proud of our students, families and staff.  These are great stories for your 40th reunion days.
