Week of May 22, 2017

Team - 

We are on the home stretch! Please make sure you are putting in EVERY grade immediately into PowerSchool. Plug in “0’s” when students do not turn in assignments on time (quizzes, tests, papers, etc.) Students and their parents need to know exactly where they stand at every moment. Teachers should be having conversations with students about make up time. We now have two more dates secured for Saturday School;  May 27, and June 3 (8AM-12Noon).  As a reminder students should NOT be making up time with another teacher with out their original teacher's permission first. Also, time should NOT be made up during lunch. Time can ONLY be made up during the day if the student AND teacher does not have a class. Now that we have 8 hours of Saturday school and remaining Tuesday/Thursday afternoons, there is zero reason for a student not able to make up time.

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. Any students who are habitually late need to be reported as well as their parking permit will be removed for the remainder of the year. 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 that we are united in upholding our student code of conduct. There should be NO EXCEPTIONS while addressing dress code (I have heard too many reasons why we may not.... if you believe there is a reason, come see me and I will provide a solution to assist you). 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. This can be reflected in your evaluation in regards to adhering and upholding expectations. Thank you to everyone who continues to enforce our expectations. 

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