Week of May 1, 2017

Team - 

AP testing starts this week.

There is a Faculty meeting this Wednesday at 7:50. Please be in attendance and on time as we will be discussing the budget as well as testing. 

Teachers of seniors, please remember to provide Mrs. Phillips, Mr. Rainey, Mr. Hawkins and myself a weekly update for students who are "on the radar". The graduation team will alert you if you have a child on the radar. Teachers of ALL grade levels - please e-mail the grade level administrator and counselor if you have any child failing and needs extra motivation. Southwest HS is well known for demanding the best out of students as we finish each school year. Let's continue to demonstrate these efforts.   

Please continue to greet your students at the doors at the beginning of each class, addressing the basics of SWHS's expectations. We must demonstrate they we are united in upholding our student code of conduct. We, as a staff, continue to send mixed messages to our students and these very students are not hesitating to let the administration aware of who is and who is not upholding the school's expectations. Thank you to everyone who continues to enforce our expectations. 

Thank you for everything you continue to do and have a great week!

WE ARE...SOUTHWEST!!  Go Cowboys!

Week of April 24, 2017

Team -  This Thursday, we distribute interim reports for the first 3 weeks of the 4th quarter for all students with Ds and/ or Fs. Our level of communication must continue as we approach the finish line. Please make sure grades are updated as much as possible in PowerSchool.  Teachers of seniors, please remember to provide Mrs. Phillips, Mr. Rainey, Mr. Hawkins and myself a weekly update for students who are "on the radar". The graduation team will alert you if you have a child on the radar. Teachers of ALL grade levels - please e-mail the grade level administrator and counselor if you have any child failing and needs extra motivation. Southwest HS is well known for demanding the best out of students as we finish each school year. Let's continue to demonstrate these efforts.    Please continue to greet your students at the doors at the beginning of each class, addressing the basics of SWHS's expectations. We must demonstrate they we are united in upholding our student code of conduct. We, as a staff, continue to send mixed messages to our students and these very students are not hesitating to let the administration aware of who is and who is not upholding the school's expectations. Thank you to everyone who continues to enforce our expectations.  In closing, one of the MANY things I am proud of with this staff, is the overall dedication of working with all students and with your peers. I need everyone to sit back, breathe, and recognize the accomplishments this school continues to receive and grow upon as well. While we will always have room to proceed upon, and challenges to face, we should never fail to recognize the greatness we are achieving. Relationships with your students and with your peers is the foundation to extraordinary success. Truly take a moment and ask yourself if you have this with both of these groups.  Can you truly and honestly say yes to this?  Both groups? If not, how do you grow as an individual, a professional in the educational environment?  I am going to end this week's Round Up with a quote..... "To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others." - Tony Robbins Thank you for everything you continue to do and have a great week!

Week of April 17, 2017

Team - 

As we are in the 4th quarter, it is vital to keep those grades updated as often as possible. If we continue to ask parents to stay on top of their child's grades, we must do our part to be current with our delivery of information.  Teachers of seniors, please remember to provide Mrs. Phillips, Mr. Rainey, Mr. Hawkins and myself a weekly update for students who are "on the radar". The graduation team will alert you if you have a child on the radar. Teachers of ALL grade levels - please e-mail the grade level administrator and counselor if you have any child failing and needs extra motivation. Southwest HS is well known for demanding the best out of students as we finish each school year. Let's continue to demonstrate these efforts.   

As we return from break, I am quite sure the warm clothes are coming out of the closets or purchased over break. Please enforce the dress code as written in the handbook. If we are united on these expectations, the dress code will be easily addressed school wide. 

Thank you for everything you continue to do and have a great week!

Week of April 3, 2017

Team - As this past Friday was the last day of the 3rd quarter, grades are due the end of the day on Wednesday, April 5^th. 

Grade changes can be submitted after report cards have been printed.  Mrs. Cline has e-mailed and attached the grade change form that has to be filled out for all grade changes (this was sent to you at 8:56 AM on 3/31). You will make the change in your gradebook but you have to give Mrs. Cline the form to let her know what you have changed in order for her to store the grade in their historical marks.   

You should be entering grades for all students. INC’s are only for students that have had medical issues or student’s that have been pre-approved by myself (Hettenbach) to receive INC’s.

Students that need to make up time due to too many absences should receive a “55” and use comment code:  56244- An “55” indicates the attendance policy was violated

To add a comment for an individual student see step #4, to add a comment for the entire class to see step #8.

You will need to print out and give to Kristy Cline only the Score Sheet which is your spreadsheet with assignments & Final Grade. (screen shots are included in the attachment (sent 3/31)  so you can see exactly what Mrs. Cline is asking for)

Report cards will be printed on April 17^th and they will be given to students Tuesday, April 18^th

If you haven't done so already, please solicit help for Julie Nichols for April 4th, senior project night. You may utilize her email (sent on 3/20 @ 1:59 PM) as a simple copy and paste. 

As we have one week before spring break, we are in REGULAR dress code attire. We should be extra vigilant this week and do everything we can to keep students engaged instructionally. 

There will be a Saturday School on Saturday, April 8, from 8am - Noon. If students come in without anything to do, refusing to out away food, drinks, electronics, etc. or simply refusing to comply with Ms. Baker, they will be asked to leave. Make sure they are aware of the expectations set forth for Saturday School.

Last, and most importantly, thank you for everything you do on a daily basis !  WE ARE...SOUTHWEST!!  Go Cowboys!
