Dear Swift Families, 

There has been an increase in dog messes not being cleaned on our field – and it’s not pretty! Please be reminded that dogs are not allowed on school grounds. If you are including a dog walk with your pick-up and drop-off routine, please pick a place off of school grounds to meet. Thank you for helping us keep our field clean.

Kindergarten Registration is On NOW!

Dear Swift Families,

Please be sure to dress students for the weather in the morning – boots, raincoats, umbrellas, and maybe even hats and mitts on the cooler days. Please don’t think “but it’s sunny” and decide to send them without – the weather changes far too quickly to take that risk! 

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Community Matters Award, an annual award that recognizes outstanding community partners who have exceeded their service mandate and made a significant, deliberate contribution to Abbotsford School District students.

The Community Matters Award celebrates organizations whose sustained commitment and meaningful collaboration have had a lasting impact on student success and well-being across the district.

The following article is brought to you by Fraser Health.

Positive mental health allows us to enjoy our lives and can help children and youth weather the normal ups and downs of life. It plays a critical role in the healthy development of children and youth, supporting their ability to build healthy relationships and succeed in school. 

How can parents support positive mental health?

Dear Swift Families,

Happy New Year! We hope that you had a wonderful holiday, we can’t wait to hear about all the memories that were made and are excited to see everyone tomorrow. 

Congratulations to our December Star Students! Their certificates are on the board and their celebration will be on February 3rd.

Everyone is welcome to attend the 2025 Swift Christmas concert! Seating is limited so please choose a performance to attend as we would like everyone to have a chance. Enter through the front doors. We would love all the children to attend both performances if possible. 

Please remember to support the Abbotsford Food Bank with a small donation of non-perishable food as you enter. Option to donate money will also be available. Thank you for your generosity!

Dear Swift Families,

With the school closure on Friday, this is a little late! Lots of information for this week – read on!

As we enter the final days of school in 2025, we want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their ongoing support. Over the break we wish you time together filled with love, laughter and many great memories.

From the whole Swift staff – Happy Holidays!

December Festive Fridays!
