DID YOU KNOW? 

Last week, we launched the first part of a five-part video series about how school finance works at SLSD. In that first part, we discussed how money is spent across our district, and how that money is focused on investing in people - our students and staff. If you missed last week’s video, you can view that HERE. 

This week, our finance series continues with a focus on how SLSD compares to other districts around Hamilton County. You can watch Part 2 of the finance series HERE.  

The big takeaway is that SLSD spends less per pupil than other school districts across the County. We are doing MORE with LESS, making us the most efficient school district in that regard in Hamilton County. 

Stay tuned for Part 3 of our series, which will provide more information on how your tax dollars support SLSD. 

SAFETY 

CELL PHONE POLICY 

With field trips, field day and other end of year events coming up, we just want to remind parents that we have a no cell phone policy at Southwest Local Schools and at Crosby Elementary. Students are not permitted to use cell phones, smart watches, or any other electronic communication devices on school property or at off-site school sponsored events. The use of these items by students will result in discipline. Also, if you are supervising any of these events, please do not permit students to use your device.
