Message from the Principal
| Office of the Principal | ||
| Dear Sweetwater Families,
It is my sincerest hope each of our students and their families are safe and healthy. As we continue through distance learning, I am aware of the challenges each of you face daily. This is why the communication between our students, families, and staff is extremely important. We want to ensure everyone understands the expectations we have of students when it comes to their learning and the support staff will provide to them. Students are expected to report to synchronous instruction for each period every day. Teachers provide synchronous instruction Monday – Thursday for 30-45 minutes each day and for 20 minutes on Friday. For the remainder of each period, students are expected to complete assignments and it is also a time they may ask their teachers for support. Our first progress report card will be issued on Friday, September 18. Students’ grades will show what they have achieved so far during the first 6 weeks of classes. If a student is earning a D or F in a particular class, the teacher should have already notified the student and their parent/guardian about the grade earned so far and communicated an intervention plan. Again, we want to communicate with one another on how we can all best support our Red Devils. Although we have more than half the semester remaining for students to complete their courses for credit, needed interventions should begin immediately to ensure they do not fail any classes. Many of our students and parents continue to email their teachers, counselors, and administrators when the need arises and we thank you for taking the time to express any concerns and ask for support. We are here to assist you in any way possible during these times of uncertainty. Sincerely, Maribel Gavin Principal |

As a reminder, the expectation during distance learning is that all students attend synchronous instruction with their teachers Monday through Friday. All teachers are providing 30-45 minutes of synchronous instruction Monday through Thursday, where students and teachers have direct face-to-face time for instruction and learning. The remainder of the period is asynchronous learning, where students are completing assignments and teachers are available for help and support. On Fridays, all students must attend classes and attendance is taken. Teachers will use this time to review material, and provide additional support. Please note that even if students are completing all assignments independently, attendance during daily synchronous instruction is still required.
If students have not completed residency requirements, they can continue to attend classes until residency requirements are cleared. Please continue to work with our Registrar, Ms. Puga, to submit residency clearances at your earliest convenience. She can be reached at sarai.puga@sweetwaterschools.org.
We hope that you and your families continue to be safe and well.
Thank you,
SUHi Administration

Picking up a mobile device, meal benefits, library books, etc. will require this barcode, which was emailed to each student and parent one time but can also be accessed via student and parent portals.
