🤒 Sickness is already going around our schools, and flu season hasn’t even started yet!
To help keep all students healthy and learning, please review the guide below for when your child should stay home and when they’re ready to return.
✅ Staying home when sick prevents germs from spreading and helps your child recover faster.
✅ Returning at the right time means fewer missed days and a healthier school community.
Thank you for working with us to keep our schools safe and healthy for everyone! 💙

More details about Beta!
Jr. Beta Fees:
New members (any 6, 7, 8)/6th graders need to pay $44.
$20 for dues and $24 for membership.
Elementary Beta and middle school Beta are not the same domain. They don’t get grandfathered in from 5th to 6th. The same thing will happen from 8th to 9th. That is from National Beta Club, not us. We have to re-register/induct.
Any 7th or 8th grader that was already a member needs to pay $10 for dues.
For any further questions, please contact Mrs. Bement (abement@swest.k12.in.us) or Mrs. Davis (cdavis@swest.k12.in.us)
