DEADLINE EXTENDED to 3 pm today due to our eLearning day yesterday. Feel free to drop off an Easter blessing card to any school, the corporation office, or the Sullivan City Hall.
After much consideration and discussion, the SWSC will have an elearning day Wednesday, April 5 due to the potential for severe weather. Assignments will be posted by 9 am. Students without Internet will not be penalized if they cannot complete assignments.
The hearts of our SMS students and staff are with the families and individuals affected by the tornado as well as the first responders who are working diligently to help! Today at lunch, SMS students had an opportunity to make cards as a show of their support. #SullivanStrong
In response to the many "How can I help?" requests, we would love for our impacted students and their families to receive Easter blessing cards with an enclosed gift certificate. Many of these families have lost everything. These cards would brighten their day, become a cherished treasure, and lighten their burden in a time and manner of their choosing. Cards may be dropped off until noon Thursday. We will divide the cards out and get them to our impacted students and families.
School drop-off will begin at 8:45 am tomorrow, April 4.
Good afternoon. As we return from spring break with heavy hearts, the SWSC will be operating on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Monday, April 3. As our community continues to recover and heal from Friday's storm, our ongoing thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected. Bus routes in affected areas will be running on limited access. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your school or the superintendent's office Monday morning. ~ Chris Stitzle, SWSC Superintendent
The Southwest School Corporation sends thoughts and prayers to our students, families, staff, and community members affected by last night's severe weather. We are coordinating efforts to help identify impacted students and staff and will support our SWSC families in the days and weeks ahead.
At this time, the Red Cross has set up a shelter at the Abundant Grace House of Prayer Church, behind Walmart, for those needing immediate assistance.

Mr. Stitzle and Mr. Stuckey met today with the Sullivan Middle School 8th grade Student Council members. The 8th grade representatives eagerly shared their thoughts and ideas for SMS. They spoke highly of their 8th grade teachers and coaches. They also talked about scheduling their 9th grade classes earlier in the morning and how they might be just a little nervous about going to high 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.
It’s happening! SMS 8th graders are completing their freshmen schedules. High school is getting very real for them.
Next week Student Council is hosting a spirit week! Please plan to dress up and show your school spirit.
Today is the first day of National School Counseling Week.

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!
