Ms. Kenney's March 8 Newsletter

March 11, 2024

Dear Swift Families,

It is hard to believe that we are wrapping up term 2 and getting ready for the final push of the school year. But first, one more week and then Spring Break! If you are planning on leaving early for holidays or will be returning late please be sure to report your extra time away on SafeArrival – it helps us in the morning to know that everyone is safe and accounted for. Enjoy the holidays – we will all be back ready to go on TUESDAY April 2nd.

Don’t forget to keep an eye on the school and district website for many events and important dates happening throughout the year!

Term 2 Learning Updates – Home on March 14th

The term 2 Learning Updates are coming home this week. This is a great time to celebrate success and set goals for a fantastic end to the school year.
