Dear Swift Families,

Here we are, rounding the corner to the end of another great year of learning and growing together! Our last day together is on Thursday June 25^th. Thank you for your continued support, we couldn’t do it without you!

Farewell…

The end of the year always brings a few “farewells” – this year is no different.

We wish Mrs. Derksen, Mrs. Dueck, Ms. Knighton, and Ms. Mantle well as they take off on a new adventure. Thank you for all you have done at Swift. We will miss you.

The Abbotsford School District gathered to celebrate a remarkable group of retirees whose dedication, leadership, and care have helped shape our schools and community for years.

Hosted at the Clarion Hotel and Conference Centre, the annual Retirement Dinner honoured employees from across the district, including teachers, support staff, administrators, operations employees, and district leaders. Together, this year's retirees represent hundreds of years of service dedicated to supporting student success.

Dear Swift Families,

There are so many beautiful things in our lost and found looking for their home! Mrs. Dahl posted 2 videos to the PAC Facebook page showing all of the lost and found. You can also come and do a walk-by when you’re here for Carnival. Lost and Found will be donated at the end of the year. Thanks to those families who came and checked things out this week!

Congratulations to our May Star Students! They will have their celebration on June 23. Some students will be away that day for field trips but they will still get their certificates and treats from their teacher later on. Some classes have given their certificates to all of their students already.

Vaping is popular among youth. Daily or near-daily use can increase the risk of mental and physical health harm.

In 2023, 26 percent of youth in grades seven through 12 in British Columbia reported having vaped. The most common age that B.C. youth first tried vaping was 13. 

Congratulations to our April Star Students! Their pictures are on the wall. May is our last month for Star Students! If your child has not been recognized yet, they will be at the end of May. Some classes have gone through all of their students already.

Dear Swift Families, 

With beautiful spring weather returning we are thrilled to see more kids biking, scooting and walking to school. A gentle reminder that all kids must have a helmet if they are biking or scooting. A lock for bikes is a good idea too! Please be reminded that supervision starts at 8:15 and ends at 2:40.

Field Trips Coming!
