Professional development must be predominantly campus-based and related to achieving campus performance objectives established by the principal with the assistance of the CPAC.
Duties of Council
The CPAC shall advise the principal in conducting the needs assessment and developing, implementing, and monitoring the campus performance objectives and strategies for the CIP.
The CPAC shall advise the principal in the following areas:
- Planning
- Budgeting
- Curriculum
- Staffing patterns
- Staff development
- School organization
If you or a community member are interested in serving on the SWE CPAC, please contact kellie.issac@fortbendisd.gov
Don't Forget!
This year, we strongly encourage all students arrive by 7:50 a.m., as announcements will begin promptly at 7:55 a.m. Instruction will then begin at 8:05 a.m. If your child is arriving at 8:05 a.m., they could potentially miss out on valuable learning opportunities. Please plan accordingly and ensure your child/children arrive by 7:50 a.m. each day.
✨ Calling all SWE Families! The Book Fair is coming Sept 8–10! ✨

Arrival & Dismissal at SWE
Please follow the Golden Rule and do not make a U turn at Green Fields and Flint Rock, to cut in line. This is not courteous to those who have been waiting in line, following the rules. We appreciate your kindness!
New! We are encouraging, ‘Drop and Walk’ at the dead end of Austin Parkway and Settlers Way Blvd (near Providence Church). There is a crossing guard there, as well as at Green Fields Dr. to safely cross students.
SWE also has a carpool/HOV line if you have three or more students to drop off or pick up! There will be a second drop off/pick up line in front of the sidewalk on Green Fields Dr. The tag will be delivered to the oldest student and must be affixed to the bottom of the original tag to enter the second line on campus. Please consider carpooling and fill out the request form below:
SWE Carpool/HOV Tag Request Form
Please know we are committed to doing the best for all our students and parents and appreciate your understanding! Thank you, SWE Admin
