Academic Help is Here

There is academic help available is every subject, at every level. Hopefully during parent teacher conferences you picked up a copy of the first edition of the Academic support, tutoring and study group resources. This booklet will be update periodically.
It is a listing, as of that date, of all the available resources available to support your son/daughter in her/his classes.
The large sign in the hallway by the court yard is one of many that reminds students that help is available. Now that we are at the end of the first quarter some may want to pay more attention to those signs and the resources listed in the support booklet.
The resources are also available on the Southwest web site. We want all of our students to academically do well. We want them to learn how to secure resources to be successful.
Thursday is game day and Friday is end of quarter
Attending the soccer game(s) on Tuesday or Thursday is not an excuse for a bad grade or not doing what is required.
Accepting responsibility is part of the learning experience. Nov 1 and 3 did not show up on the calendar instantly. The games have been posted well in advance. Yes, attendance at the games are excused with proper notes from home. But the work still goes on.
This has been a fun and wild week. But it is also the end of the quarter. It is important that all of our obligations are met and taken care of. Time management, responsibility and self discipline are all important learnings. In a few years none of us big people will be here to take care of you. Accept the challenge!

Men's Soccer Plays Thursday 8:00 am
Tough results from the Dome. Shot after shot missed by inches. Ball control, field position, tempo of the game were all controlled by the Lakers. But the ball has to go in the net to count. So the game ended and we were down 2.
That takes the Lakers to Thursday morning at 8 am. The team wants to go out a winner and ending third in the state is not a bad deal. Come out on Thursday morning and share in the event.
Remember that Thursday is an official regular school day. If you give your student permission then you need to telephone the attendance line or send on a note for the absence to be excused.
Check with you student. There may be a need to get work turned in by Friday or to come in and take a test. The grading period is
Over Friday.

Tuesday is a Regular School Day
Lots of excitement! Yes we have a fan bus(es) for the Men's Soceer Game leaving school at 1 pm today. If you signed the parent permission form that is an excused absence notice for your stduent.
If you are giving permission for your student to attend a family event you need to call teh atttendance line or send in a permission note with your student. These will be excused absences.
No note, no telephone call, no permission slip - then that is an unexcused absence.
Thank you
