Dear Parents and Guardians,
As part of our commitment to student health and safety, students in grades 10-12 will participate next week in a brief, classroom based lesson on teen dating violence prevention and healthy relationships. This lesson will be taught by a liaison from Gateway Family Services.
This evidence-based curriculum is designed to increase students’ awareness of healthy relationship skills, help them recognize warning signs of unhealthy or unsafe behaviors, and provide information on available resources and supports. The lesson is age-appropriate and aligns with our district’s efforts to promote a safe and respectful learning environment for all students.
If you prefer that your student not participate, you may opt out by completing the form linked below:

A Powerful Message of Resilience!
Sweetwater High School students had the opportunity to hear fromTyson Dever with Teens in the Driver Seat today as he shared an inspiring message about overcoming adversity and refusing to be defined by the circumstances life hands you. His story challenged students to take ownership of their future, choose their response to hardship, and never allow themselves to become victims of their situation.
Sweetwater ISD would like to thank Mr. Dever, Jill Christie (TxDOT) , and Sergeant Marc Couch (DPS).
