SWES Family Notes for January 2019
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2019
From the Principal
A Very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2019 SWES Gator Families!
I hope your families are having a wonderful Christmas Day and are enjoying the holiday break. We look forward to having our students back at Southwest as we begin the second half of the school year Thursday, January 3, 2019.
The SCCPSS Student Success EXPO will be Saturday, January 5, 2019 at the Savannah Mall. This is a good time to come out and learn more about specialty schools and support Southwest Elementary by dropping by our booth. Some of our GATE program students will participate in different competitions and other students will be in the opening parade. It is a great event and we hope to see our families there.
New faculty: We are welcoming Mrs. Meeler, our new inclusion Grade 5 teacher to our Gator community. Mrs. Meeler is an experienced educator within our school district and surrounding districts. We are still hiring a SPED para professional for our Grade 5 inclusion classroom.
Merry Christmas!
