Sullivan Elementary School

The Southwest School Corporation is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a $307,210 Comprehensive School Counseling Grant from the Indiana Department of Education. This grant will allow us to expand our existing counseling services and programs. SWSC’s comprehensive counseling team currently consists of Dave Lisman, Katie Couch, Krista Wells, and Dani Hamilton. The goal of the comprehensive counseling team at SWSC is to ensure that every student is socially and emotionally healthy, has the opportunity to experience academic success, and graduates career and/or college ready.

Today is the first day of National School Counseling Week. The theme of this year’s week is “School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big.” Did you know that our school counseling team's number one goal is to help all of our students succeed? Whatever our students need to be successful – whether that’s learning how to stay motivated to complete work, having positive relationships with peers, learning to advocate for yourself, or overcoming barriers – our team is here to help!

Any SES student currently in 5th grade may sign up to receive a physical at SMS on April 11th for only $10. The physical will be good for the student’s 6th grade school year. You must first go online to https://southwestsullivan-in.finalforms.com/ to create a new account. You must complete all forms online, print them, and bring to the school by April 10th along with $10 cash or check payable to SMS to receive a physical on this date.

Happy American Education Week! During American Education Week, we celebrate public education and the men and women who make a difference in our schools and students' lives every day.

October 24- October 28 is Red Ribbon Week. All SES students are invited to participate in dress up days.

In order to help ensure a safer environment for our students, SWSC is implementing a new visitor management system starting Monday. It is not that different from what we currently do except it is electronic. Visitors will be asked to scan their driver’s license into our Securely Visitor System via an iPad. For anyone leaving the office area to enter the school, the secretary will print you a visitor’s badge with your name and picture on it to wear while you are in the school. We would greatly appreciate it if you would bring your driver’s license with you when signing in or out your children or when entering the school for other various reasons. Some of you may have already experienced the ease of the new system this week. It is just another layer of security we are adding to help keep our students safe.

Our cheerleading future looks bright! Great job to all of our SHS cheerleaders and the cheerleaders-in-training at tonight’s football game.

It is a beautiful morning as the Sullivan Elementary School's 5th graders start their 9/11 We Remember Walk. In honor of the 343 FDNY firefighters who lost their lives while saving others, the students will be carrying a firehouse 3.43 laps around the playground during their specials time. Our SES 3rd and 4th graders will be as well during their specials time.
