School Bell Nominations Now Open!
One of our favorite times of the year in the South-Western City School District, School Bell Award nominations are now open to parents, guardians, students, and community members!
Starting now and running through Friday, March 21, 2025, we are canvassing our families, students, and community members for staff nominations and stories about a SWCSD team member who went above and beyond in the last year.
Awardees will be recognized on April 22, 2025, at our SWCSD Employee Awards Gala with the SWCS Council of PTA's. While not every entry may qualify for a School Bell Award, the stories submitted to us will be distributed to employees to remind them of the impact they make right here in the "smallest, big-place you can find."
Keep your Infinite Campus Parent Portal information updated to get text, phone, and email updates!
Infinite Campus (IC) is the District’s Internet-based student information system. Important features of IC are the Parent Portal and NEW Mobile App. Through the IC tools, parents are able to access their child’s information, such as class schedules, attendance, academic reports, transportation information, coursework, and put funds in their child’s food service account online. Parents can also designate how and where they wish to receive emergency communications, attendance calls, general announcement messages, and e-mail messages from teachers, the school, and the school district. New accounts need an activation key. The district will be mailing those out in August, so save the letter if you need to create a new account.
To create an IC account, please go to: https://www.swcsd.us/ParentPortalMobileApp.aspx
If you already have an IC account, please update your emergency contact information at: https://www.swcsd.us/OnlineAnnualInformationUpdate.aspx
