SOUTHWESTERN’S 87 th
SCHOOL YEAR
NOTE: This “Red Book” student handbook and
the assignment pages are important tools for
your success. Each student receives a binder
and a copy of this handbook at the beginning of
the term. You must bring this “Red Book” in its
binder to all classes throughout the year.
This information will be reviewed in classes on
the first day of school. If you have any
questions, ask then in class or ask any staff
member or Proctor at any time in the year. Keep
your daily homework and your long term
assignments in this notebook. Not having
your binder and “Red Book” in every class
is the same as not having any other
required materials.
