November and December were full of joy, collaboration, creativity, and so much learning at Southwest Primary. From exploring cultures and driving into scientific investigations to exploring mathematical concepts and strengthening phonics skills, our students have been working hard while having fun. We're so proud of their curiosity, teamwork, and growth one step at a time.
As we welcome the new year and jump back into learning this January, we're excited to keep the momentum going. Mid-year is a powerful time for growth, and our students are ready to dig deeper, challenge themselves, and continue building strong academic skills with confidence and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing our students each day as we continue learning and growing.

In preparation for potential inclement weather, we want to ensure your child has everything they need to continue learning from home. Students will be bringing home remote learning packets that contain important materials and information.
