OPEN HOUSE POSTPONED

Southwest Open House was originally scheduled for next Tuesday September 14. That event has been POSTPONED.

Due to have more enrolled students than projected we will be adding new sections to the master schedule. Thus, there will be many schedule changes by the end of next week.

We felt it important for families to have the opportunity to meet the teachers who will be involved with their children. Since we know there will be numerous schedule changes, it only makes sense to wait a couple weeks and have students and teachers aligned and families will be receiving appropriate information.

The vast majority of the schedule changes will be in 9th and 10th grade schedules. There are a few upper level courses such as English 11 and HL Biology that will change.

We definitely understand there will be cases that this is disruptive and the result is significantly better than the large classes we currently have. There is no easy way to do this. The change of one class will effect the entire schedule of the student. It may result in a change of teacher, lunch hour and other important issues.

For about half of the students in the building, this will appear to be a non-event. But for those effected it will be a one day disruption. As best as possible, I will attempt to keep you informed. Talk to your children, they will know day by day what is happening. Basically nothing will change for the next seven days. I am anticipating a change on Monday September 20. But circumstances may require that the changes become effective the 27th. But you and your child will know prior to that.

OPEN HOUSE IS NOT TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14.

New date to be announced.
