This hands-on experience is a gift that could one day save a life, and we deeply appreciate your commitment to making this opportunity possible for our seniors.

Yesterday, 82 of our students had the opportunity to participate in an insightful presentation by our partners at Hamilton Health. The session focused on the importance of nutrition and physical activity in supporting mental health. Students learned valuable lessons about how eating healthy and staying active can help reduce anxiety, stress, and depression. It was an engaging and impactful event, and we are grateful for Hamilton Health’s partnership in fostering our students’ well-being. #Southwestern #JagNation #FCS

We strive to keep all of our students as healthy and safe as possible. One of the best ways one can do this is being fully immunized. The state requires students enrolled in school to be up to date on their childhood immunizations. Any new enrollee, 7th grader, or kindergartener not up to date will have their classes closed upon return from winter break on January 6th if required documentation is not provided. Please see attached flyer for information about our upcoming immunization clinic. If your child is not up to date please make an appointment with their doctor, the heath department, or make an appointment at our upcoming clinic to avoid class closures.
