September Star Students!

Congratulations to our September Star Students!! Their certificates are on the board in the hall. 

Star Student certificates are hung on the board in the hallway for the month AFTER they are selected. Then we have a Star Student Celebration the First Tuesday of the month following (so September Star students have their certificates up all thru October and get their celebration the 1st Tuesday in November, etc.). ALL students who attend Swift will have their certificate on the wall at some time during the year. We post the first names and divisions only on the website.

Keep your children free from respiratory illnesses this winter

The information is brought to you by Fraser Health.

As the weather gets colder and more time is spent indoors, we are more likely to get sick with things like colds, flu or COVID-19 because these illnesses spread more easily in enclosed spaces.

Everyone should take these steps to protect themselves and limit the spread of respiratory illnesses:

City and School District Approve Joint Use Agreement

The Abbotsford School District and City of Abbotsford have approved a new Master Joint Use Agreement, strengthening our long-standing partnership and improving access to shared facilities and recreational opportunities across the community.  

The updated agreement provides designated times for City programs and community organizations to use specific school gymnasiums, creating greater certainty around community access. It also removes fees for items such as skate and helmet rentals during school visits, helping reduce barriers to participation for children and youth.
