Southwestern Schools Going Virtual Until Nov. 30

The decision to go virtual is due to the high number of staff absences and trouble fining substitutes, not because of COVID-19 cases within the school.

(Hanover, Ind.) -   It has been announced by the Southwestern school superintendent that the school will be going virtual until November 28. 

In-person classes will resume on November 30, as a result of this move to virtual learning high school students are expected to log into their Chromebooks and attend school virtually from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day, daily attendance of students is required.  

The decision to go virtual is due to the high number of staff absences and trouble fining substitutes, not because of COVID-19 cases within the school.

During the closure, the school will also be providing meals for students. Beginning Thursday, November 12 families may pick up their child's meals between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. at the Southwestern High School Cafeteria.
