Ms. Kenney's June 5
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!
Many field trips are coming up before the end of the year – please keep an eye on your SchoolCash account for payment and permission. If you need any financial assistance, please let Ms. Kenney know directly and we will make arrangements together to cover the cost.
PAC News
As this is being sent the sounds of Carnival are happening! Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this great community event happen. A big thank you to the organizing team who has spent many sleepless hours planning the Carnival.
The PAC email will be checked over the summer – feel free to email with any ideas for next year!
School District Orange Shirts – September 2026
The annual Orange Shirt, designed by district students, is currently available for ordering online. This years design was created by 3 students – they describe their design in this way: “The butterfly wings in our design represent freedom, beauty, and change. The sun symbolizes life‑giving energy, power, and unity. The dandelions reflect resilience, hope, transformation, and the power of making wishes.” Shirts can be ordered now for September delivery to school. Grade 5s, should list their middle school so their shirt is delivered to them! Ordering is available here – order deadline is June 15th.
Garden Watering
Each summer we have a number of families that help us keep our gardens growing. If you are available to sign up to water the garden over the summer, please check out the link on the website. Your commitment is one week of watering – and your reward is being able to eat anything that is ripe!
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.
Bikes, Scooters, Helmets and Fence Jumping
The sun is shining, and bikes and scooters are back! We are asking you, as parents/guardians, to help us out. We love seeing kids actively arriving to school – please remind your kids that once they are on school property, we ask that they walk their bikes and scooters. Also, please be sure to send them with their helmets!
We have had several concerns brought forward recently of kids jumping the fences around the playground before and after school. They all know that those areas are out of bounds. Please help us keep the hills from eroding by not letting them jump the fences when playing before and after school.
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 pickup and drop off routine, please say good-bye or hello off the school grounds. Thank you for your cooperation.
