Southwest High School students and parents: It is time to register for the 2015 – 2016 school year. Here are details regarding the registration process.

There will be an emphasis placed on familiarizing you with the LPS graduation requirement fields. This will restructure the organization of the courses by graduation fields instead of departments. It is important for our school community to know how these fields relate to the many course offerings that are provided by our school district. Every year our students plan and make their course selections to meet their post secondary goals. As we partner in supporting these goals, we are also taking steps towards increasing our graduation rate. On behalf of school staff, thank you for allowing us to be a part of this educational partnership.

Reminder, it may be possible to take more than one level of Mathematics. Please check with your teacher or your counselor for guidance in this regard. You may also take more than one level of World Language. In addition a student can select Weight Training and Adv. Weight Training more than once.

The registration window will be open in the Synergy ParentVUE/StudentVUE from Monday, February 2nd through Friday, February 27th.
