April 2024
Happy April Southwest families! It's hard to believe we're on the precipice of the end of another school year! Hoping you and yours enjoyed the extra days off school during spring break! Signs of spring are popping up all around and even with recent rains, our students have still been able to enjoy lots of outdoor recess time!
In the next couple of weeks we will find ourselves at mid-quarter! Classroom teachers will be communicating progress with you. While fourth quarter finishes out the school year, we are still learning new things and preparing students for testing. All grade levels will be testing the last weeks of April into the first week of May. Attendance is important so that our students aren't missing the prep and practice. Your support in that in so appreciated!
Thank you for all you do to support Southwest!
