Welcome to the Parent Orientation website. We are delighted to have you as the newest members of our Southwestern community.
This site includes information relevant to your visit to Southwestern for Parent Orientation. We know that this can be both an exciting and stressful time for you and your student. We hope to make the process easy and enjoyable.
In June, you will receive your Parent Orientation invitation and registration form in the mail, as well as a copy of the Parent Handbook. These materials are also available online linked from this page.
We look forward to meeting you at Orientation in August. Please contact our office at anytime with questions.
