Student handbook for 1996-1997 - Southwestern Academy

VOICEMAIL A digital phone system at the
San Marino Campus includes voice mail for
all teachers, staff members, proctors, and
student council members. The voicemail
system is an important educational tool, as
you may reach teachers and they may leave
messages for you at any time. You can call
from many phones around campus.
You can leave messages for teachers
and staff, any hour, from on or off
campus.
WORKING WITH SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS
Several publications are prepared each school
year at Southwestern. Some students will be
enrolled in classes to earn credits working with
these publications, but all students are welcome
to help with contributions, editing, and
production. Here are our annual publications:
VIEW BOOK
Published early in the school year, a view book
pictures each student and staff member, lists
names and voicemail numbers, and is a handy
guide throughout the year to our school family.
THE CONFAB
Our annual yearbook, The Confab, is prepared,
printed, and published by students each June
with pictures and stories of sports, classes,
honors, graduates, events which reflect all that’s
happened in a rich year. Pictures, drawings,
stories are always welcome. A cover contest is
held in the winter. The Confab is sold to
students and distributed on the last day of school
so you can collect autographs. Sometimes the
Confab staff also produces supplements as
newspapers during the term.
SEEDS
Southwestern’s creative writing and art
magazine. SEEDS is distributed at the end of
the school year with some of the best student
art, poetry, short stories, essays, and
photography. Everyone is encouraged to
contribute his or her best work. See the
student editors to submit work or to help with
SEEDS.
These publications are desktop prepared
and edited, and have been printed at
Southwestern since 1924. You are
welcome to become involved in publishing
any or all of them. Ask an editor or the
teacher-advisor how you can contribute.
