🎉 Never Fail League Celebration – Marking Period 5 at Southwestern! 🎉 What an incredible time celebrating our students at Marking Period 5 for the Never Fail League at Southwestern! Our scholars enjoyed an afternoon full of fun, laughter, and well-deserved recognition. Students played life-size games like Jenga, Uno, cornhole, and Connect Four, and had a blast spending time together in the gym. 🏀🎯 There were plenty of snacks to enjoy, along with new shirts and certificates to recognize their hard work and commitment. We are so proud of our students and the positive culture we continue to build together at Southwestern! 💛💙 #NeverFailLeague #StudentSuccess #SouthwesternPride

🐾💛 Josie’s Monthly PBIS Visit! 💛🐾

Today we had a very special visitor in the building — Josie the Therapy Dog stopped by for her monthly PBIS visit, and she brought ALL the smiles with her! 🐶✨

Students had the opportunity to spend time with Josie as part of our PBIS celebrations, recognizing their positive behavior, hard work, and commitment to our school expectations. There’s just something about a wagging tail and puppy eyes that makes everyone’s day a little brighter! 💕

Josie helps create a calming environment, reduces stress, and reminds us all of the power of kindness and connection. We are so grateful for her visits and the joy she brings to our students and staff each month.

Way to go, Jags, for continuing to show positive behavior and earning this special time! 🐾💫

We can’t wait to see you next month, Josie! 🐶💛

We are proud to celebrate four outstanding students Prince, Amari, Wright, and Reed for being selected as our Artists of the Month through our collaborative project with the Math Department!

Southwestern families,
First, our no cell phone policy remains in effect so that students can stay focused, engaged, and fully involved in their learning. When cell phones are out, they often become a distraction from instruction, assignments, and meaningful classroom participation. Please be aware that a second cell phone offense results in a confiscation for the remainder of the semester which is June 11, 2026 . These expectations are in place to support academic success and create a learning environment where students can do their best work. We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing this expectation with your student. 
Secondly, I want to encourage you to check out the February edition of The Jaguar Roar newsletter for important updates and information. https://app.smore.com/n/bpexd
Thank you for your continued support of Southwestern Classical Academy. I encourage you to find a way to make this February full of love and joy.
Happy Black History month! Go Jaguars!
