Swift Weekly Update
June 6, 2021
A Message from the Principal
It is hard to believe, that five (5) days from today the school year is over! Once again, I say, “THANK YOU”! To every parent, teacher, support staff, custodian, bus driver and student, thank you for your patience, flexibility and support this entire year. The pandemic made us think outside the box on procedures, routines and many aspects of every day life.
The students and teachers had a great week and enjoyed several fun activities. I have included many pictures. Unfortunately, we had to postpone the Transformer Truck on Friday due to the weather. Hopefully, next week, we will keep you posted.
Please be aware that our last three days - Monday - Wednesday, June 14 -16th are abbreviated days. Student dismissal each day is 2:00 pm.
Have a great weekend.
Joetta M. Surace
