🐾💛 Josie “Jojo Bear” had the best day visiting our school for our PBIS event! Students were all smiles as they spent time with our favorite therapy dog — she soaked up every hug, tail wag, and belly rub! 🐶✨ Through her visits, Josie helps promote emotional regulation, reduce stress and anxiety, and encourage responsibility and respect. She also helps students learn safe, caring interactions with animals while rewarding positive behavior and providing unique, meaningful experiences for those who follow expectations. Our PBIS goals focus on creating a positive, safe, respectful, and supportive school environment — and Josie’s visits are a perfect way to bring those goals to life! 💛🐾 #PBIS #TherapyDogLove #PositiveBehavior #SafeAndCaringSchools #JojoBear #FCS

Our students had a fantastic experience at the MiCareerQuest field trip! 🌟 This hands-on event gave them the opportunity to explore a wide range of careers, connect with professionals, and gain real-world insights into Michigan’s in-demand industries. From health sciences to engineering and beyond, students left inspired about their future paths! 👩🏽‍⚕️👷🏾‍♂️💻 #CareerExploration #MiCareerQuest #FutureReady #StudentOpportunities #Southwestern #FCS

Greetings! This is Mr. Dompreh, Proud Principal of Southwestern Classical Academy with an update to our backpack and bookbag policy.

Effective Monday October 6, students will not be allowed to carry a backpack or bookbag after first period. Students will be required to store any backpack or bookbag in a locker after entering the building. Athletes will have to make arrangements with the athletic director for bags that are too big to fit into a regular school locker.

Other bags for carrying school issued equipment will need to be stored with the advisor of the club or activity the student is participating in.

Thank you in advance for your help with the safety and security of Southwestern Academy scholars.
