Attention Southwest Middle School Parents & Families!

At Southwest Middle School, we believe that strong partnerships between home and school are essential to student success. As we continue working to make our school the very best it can be, we would like to hear directly from you.

We have created a brief parent survey to gather your feedback about your experiences with our school, communication practices, family engagement opportunities, and ways we can better support our students and families. Your input will help guide our planning and ensure that our efforts align with the needs and priorities of our school community.

The survey should take only a few minutes to complete, and all responses will be carefully reviewed as we develop future family engagement opportunities and school improvement efforts.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Your voice matters, and we value your partnership in helping Southwest Middle School continue to grow and improve.

Good evening, Roadrunner families!

This is Dr. Davria with your final weekly update of the school year.

It is hard to believe, but we are down to our final few days of the 2025โ€“2026 school year! Wednesday will be our studentsโ€™ last day of school. Thank you for your support, partnership, and encouragement throughout this school year.

This week, we will celebrate our students during our End-of-Year Awards Ceremonies. Parents should have received contact from our school counselors if your child was receiving an award.

Tuesday:
7th Grade Awards โ€“ 9:30 a.m.
6th Grade Awards โ€“ 12:00 p.m.

Wednesday:
8th Grade Awards โ€“ 9:30 a.m.

Tuesday night, we will also celebrate our student athletes during our Athletic Awards Night at 6 pm in the gym.

Doors will open to parents 30 minutes prior to each ceremony. Please enter through the gym entrance. For safety purposes, no bags will be permitted.

We also want to share an important reminder regarding report cards. This year, report cards will not be mailed home. Any student who does not receive a printed report card on the final day of school may have one picked up by a parent or guardian from the front office between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., May 26 through May 29. Grades will also be available in Infinite Campus.

Lastly, we regret to inform families that due to a shipping delay, yearbooks will not arrive before the end of the school year. Once they arrive, yearbooks will also be available for pickup during the same dates and times listed above.

Thank you again for a wonderful school year. We hope all of our Roadrunner families have a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer break!
