We've had a great first few days of school! Our halls are buzzing with energy, and we are excited for this school year.
This Thursday, our Spirit Squads and football team will be introduced and will perform starting at 7:40! Come out and support!








These rock stars scored a 5 on their AP Human Geography exam! Congratulations to Lucio Reyes, Jace Escobar, Yerik Acosta, and Luz Shacklett. We are so proud of you!



Huge thank you to our incredible PTSO for providing our teachers breakfast yesterday - what a great way to start the day! We ended the night with our Cougar Kick-off, which was a huge success. It was wonderful to see so many families and students back in the building. We are excited to start school on Monday and can't wait for a great year ahead!
If you weren't able to join us at our Cougar Kick-off, here is an important form you can complete to find ways to stay involved at Southwest this school year.

Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, a new Arkansas law - the Bell to Bell, No Cell Act - requires schools to strictly limit students' use of personal electronic devices during the school day. This includes cell phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, and other personal devices.
If Southwest students bring these items to school, they must be stored in the cell phone charging towers or in backpacks for the entire school day.
Last year, Southwest piloted a phone-free environment during instructional time. However, this new law extends the restriction to include the entire school day. If a parent or guardian needs to contact their student, they may call the office at 479-750-8849. We will relay the message to the student or have the student come to the office to use the phone. The office phone will also be available for students to use to call home if needed.
Thank you for partnering with us to support a focused, distraction-free learning environment.


PSAT at Southwest is October 14. Information will be available at our open house, which is August 5th at 5pm. See you there!


THIS SATURDAY- Be an extra in a feature film- spread the word! #SpringdaleFamily
