Career Development Week
Hello, Southwest High School families! This is a reminder that we are celebrating National Career Development Week from November 11th to 15th with a series of engaging activities for our students. The theme is Take Flight, encouraging our Cowboys to think about their futures and set career goals. Information can be found on our school website on the Counseling Department page or the Student Services Page (Career and Technical Education).
Here’s a quick look at what’s happening each day:
• Tuesday: Money Matters Day—students are encouraged to wear green as we focus on financial literacy.
• Wednesday: Dress for Success Day—students should dress in professional attire representing their future careers.
• Thursday: Career Exploration Day—students will have the opportunity to research various career options.
• Friday: Career Goals Day—students will create vision boards to help visualize their career aspirations.
Please encourage your child to participate and take advantage of this week’s activities. Let’s help our Cowboys soar toward a successful future! Thank you for your support.

Parking for Events
Spectator Parking is in the Barrow Rd. lot behind the school for all HOME events. This is the student lot behind the school. Entry to the SW Stadium is on the home side of the field.
Parking Permits - IMPORTANT
Parents, if you could assist us in reminding your students about a couple of dress code policies that we are seeing take away from instructional time:
Dress Code: We are seeing a high volume of crop-top shirts and holes above the knees. While we know it is warm outside, with our new and improved HVAC work from the summer, the temperature in the building is just fine. If a student has on a crop top or holes above the knees, they need to have something under their garments. Please remind your student of this so that they are able to stay in class and not miss instruction to change.
Cell Phones
Cell Phones: We have a no-cell phones policy in class so that instruction is happening for the duration of the class. If a teacher uses it for instruction then it is upon their discretion. Otherwise, phones need to be put away. They are able to use them during transition and during lunch. Please assist us with ensuring that instruction is the most important part of your child's day. Our teachers don't want to stop their delivery of instruction to ask your child to put their phones away. Please see this Cell Phone Policy below in this blog.
