Welcome to the Southwest Local School District's Health and Wellness program.
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Information
Please be assured that we are continuing to work closely with the Hamilton County Health Department to stay up to date with concerns and illness trends in our area. It is important to know that during a pandemic, we will continue to follow the health department’s lead on any quarantines, closures, or other health measures needed. Our primary focus is the safety of students and staff. At the same time, we place a high value on providing high quality learning experiences.
Please refer to this CDC GUIDANCE on testing and when you should self-quarantine.
