Viking Vibes

The Viking Spotlight is the part in my weekly newsletter used to highlight and celebrate our students and staff anytime we can! If you would like your child acknowledged for something they have accomplished, whether on campus or off-campus, please feel free to fill out this google form HERE. I look forward to celebrating our Vikings and all of the great things they are doing!

The first six weeks of Semester 2 have come and gone! You saw how you performed in each of your classes and now is the time to reflect and take action! Are you happy with your grades? Where could you have done better? What are three things you can do starting this week to help improve your lowest grades? There are only 60 school days left this semester...if you're not already dialed in and ready to pass all of your classes, now is the time before it's too late! We have another Saturday Academy coming up this Saturday and next Saturday, and you should also take advantage of our after-school tutoring. Start small and focus on putting in your best effort for the next three weeks before we go on Spring Break. You got this, Vikings! 💛

I'd like to take a minute to shout out our VALOR boys and girls soccer teams on a successful season! It came to a close this past Saturday at playoffs where the boys team lost a close match by one goal scored in the last couple minutes of the game! The girls played hard too, but fell short of a victory. Each year, our soccer program continues to improve and that's counts. As long as student-athletes are having fun and improving their skills, that makes for a successful season! I'm so proud of you all and look forward to continued growth next year! ⚽

Tomorrow is another Music Monday...will your advisory class win this week? 🎵🎙

Let's make it a great week, Vikings! 💛

Future Raider Families,

We want to take the opportunity to welcome incoming 9th-grade students and families to the Southwest High School community. We will host a parent meeting on Tuesday, February 27th, at 6 pm in the gymnasium to tell you more about our wonderful school. During this time, you will meet our new Principal, Ms. Easter Finley, and staff and learn more about the academic programs that make us unique, athletic programs, extracurricular programs, afterschool activities, our high expectations for college and career readiness, and Compact for Success with SDSU.

We look forward to meeting our future Raider families on February 27th.

This past Saturday, most of our Advanced Band performed at the Chula Vista High School Small Ensemble Festival! They earned an "Excellent" rating which is only ONE POINT away from "Superior" rating!! Great job, Vikings! Kudos to Mrs. Glover for continuing to guide our musicians!

Our next round of Viking Shadow Day is coming up on Friday, March 8th! Please join us in shadowing your child in their classes. You'll also get time to meet with the MVA admin team if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Please click HERE to rsvp so we can plan accordingly!
