Dear Swift Families,

It’s a busy week ahead, so I thought I would send along a couple of reminders.

Dear Swift Families,

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, we all hope you have time to enjoy time with family, friends and those you love. We will see you Tuesday, October 15th.

Rainy Days and Extra Clothes

Congratulations to the following students who are our Star Students for September!

The Abbotsford School District is proud to announce the launch of a new and enriching resource on each of its school websites: dedicated school history pages that delve into the fascinating origins of our school’s names.

On October 5th, the Abbotsford School District joins the global community in celebrating World Teachers’ Day, a special occasion to honour the dedication and passion of educators who play an essential role in shaping the future. Teachers are the driving force behind student success, and in Abbotsford, they are at the heart of creating a vibrant and supportive learning environment for over 20,000 students.

Dear Swift Families,

It’s hard to believe that October is already here! Fall days are coming which means a change of weather. Please send your kids to school ready to be outside for recess and lunch – we go out in all weather conditions unless it is incredibly stormy! It is always a good idea to have an extra pair of socks and pants in backpacks – wet feet and wet pants aren’t a lot of fun. While we have some extras at school, we save them for those unexpected bathroom accidents, not puddle fun!

The guide to Respiratory season and fall immunizations is brought to you by Fraser Health.

Respiratory illnesses tend to increase as we spend more time indoors. Common colds, the flu and COVID-19 spread through tiny droplets as people who are sick breathe, talk, cough or sneeze. When other people breathe in or touch these droplets and then their eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands they may become sick.
