Attention Southwest Middle School Families:
Beginning this school year, students will not be able to bring backpacks to campus. All students are issued a laptop with a protective case, which is designed to safely transport their device and essential materials between home and school.
This change aligns Southwest Middle School with the backpack procedures already implemented at many other middle schools throughout the district.
Our goal is to enhance campus safety while ensuring students have everything they need for a successful school day. Students may carry their laptop case and any necessary school materials as needed. Students will be allowed to bring regular sized lunchboxes and/or a purse/fanny pack no bigger than half a sheet of paper.
Thank you for your support and partnership as we continue working to provide a safe and productive learning environment for all students.
