- This is my daughter's second year at Siwell. I admit, the first year was rocky. Not for her but for me. Now I have two children there. I wouldn't want them anywhere else. The teachers are excellent and the administration is one of the best in JPS. They honestly care about the well being of the students. Though they can be strict, I believe it teaches discipline and responsibility.

- Siwell Middle School has a great team of teachers. The teachers really care about the students. The PTSA is doing an awesome job supporting the students, parents and staff. PTSA website is www.siwellptsa.com and it lists events and updates. Go Cougars!

- My name is Charlene Joshua-Olagbegi. My question is does the school have calendar of daily events that is given to the students each month. I saw Barr Elementary and they have an excellent calendar of events. Thanks your response is greatly appreciated.
