Now we are 13 days into the school year. Juniors and seniors have almost figured out how far they can travel away from school and make it back on time. Starting next week, you may receive a call that your son/daughter has Bern late too many times from lunch.
The automated phone service calls the house at the listed number if your daughter/son missed one or more class periods that day. If your answering machine is constantly erased prior to making it home you might want to take at look at the parent portal.
There are a few students who are trying to decide if they want to be students. We will continue to encourage and motivate and challenge. But at the end of the day, if a young person is in school to make a few extra bucks (selling strange or stolen stuff) or just enjoys making it miserable for others, we will counsel her/him into other structured environments.
One of the major transitions for 9th graders is the caliber of the other students in the classroom. It is not unusual to be in a class where almost every other student in the class was also at the top of his/her school. The vast majority of the Southwest students are in school to learn and do their best. Every day is important.
Big day of Friday. End of the third week. It moves very quickly.

That's too bad about the students in school to make a buck. How about mentioning the kids who were named National Merit Semifinalists on the web site? That's worth celebrating isn't it? The only announcment I see is for a cancelled meeting that occurred in the past.
National Merit Semifinalists were just released this past week. WE have plans for the announcement. We sent in the appropriate news release to the Trib, District and other newspapers. We are very proud of their efforts.
