Estimadas Familias y Personal de Southwest Public Schools,
Debido a los daños generalizados de la reciente tormenta que afectó a Houston, las escuelas de Southwest Public Schools permanecerán cerradas el lunes 20 de mayo de 2024. Seguimos trabajando con oficiales de la ciudad para evaluar nuestras escuelas y asegurar que estamos listos para volver a abrir y satisfacer las necesidades de nuestros alumnos.
Somos conscientes del bien estar de nuestras familias, personal y alumnos, y aseguramos que nuestros maestros y administradores trabajarán con los alumnos con respecto a las tareas, y todos los alumnos tendrán la oportunidad de completar las tareas necesarias para la promoción y graduación. Cualquier información específica de cada escuela será comunicada por los directores de la escuela. La graduación de Empowerment HS sigue programada para el miércoles 22 de mayo de 2024.
Si usted es una familia o empleado que necesita ayuda, por favor póngase en contacto con el director o supervisor de su escuela para obtener apoyo. Seguiremos supervisando nuestras escuelas y el restablecimiento de la electricidad y les estaremos informando antes de las 4 p.m. con respecto a la escuela para el día siguiente.
