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.

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?

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!

From the whole Swift staff – Happy Holidays!

Don’t skip your influenza (flu) shot this year: Fraser Health is reminding everyone that immunization makes a difference. The vaccine shields against several strains of flu and helps lessen the impact of emerging variants, like H3N2.

Congratulations to our November Star Students! They will be having their Star Student Celebration in January!
