Dear Swift Families,
Please continue to pack clothes for cool and rainy weather – despite the sunny skies today, we all know the rain isn’t over for the year quite yet!
There are so many beautiful things in our lost and found looking for their home! Mrs. Dahl updated the Lost and Found items over Spring Break – please take a peek!

Dogs at School – A Reminder
As the warmer weather comes, a dog walk to and from school might seem like a great idea. Please be reminded that dogs – regardless of size are NOT permitted on school grounds. If you want to add a dog walk to your pick up and drop off routine, please say good-bye or hello off of the school grounds. Thank you for your cooperation.
Parking 101
Please remember and remind family members who do pick up and drop off that when using the “Drop Off Lane” you may not park and get out of your car. Please help the traffic keep flowing. And, while things have been better in recent weeks, we continue to hear from our neighbours that members of our school community are blocking driveways, double parking, and most recently moving garbage cans to create more parking spaces. Please show our best selves to the rest of the community.
