Important Dates
School Performance Framework, or SPF, Rating
Swansea Elementary’s SPF rating will be available soon! When the SPF rating is finalized, we will publish the information.
Mark Your Calendar: No School for Students
There will be no school for students on September 27 and October 10 due to Staff Professional Learning Days, and Fall Break will be October 11 and 14. This means there is no class for students on October 10-14.
Parent Teacher Home Visits
Parent Teacher Home Visits, or PTHV, will be taking place next week, September 16-20. PTHV are optional for parents to coordinate with teachers. However, we encourage parents to participate as it strengthens relationships, shifts mindsets and improves student outcomes. Teachers meet with parents to discuss goals for students as well as to get to know the whole family. Families should reach out to teachers if they wish to participate and have not heard from their student’s teacher. PTHV are informal and do not have to take place in a family’s home. Visits can be held in a public space if the family prefers!
Birthday Celebrations
We believe that celebrations are important, however, they cannot take away from the mission of a school – to educate your child. In order to minimize the interruption to instruction, all students will receive a birthday crown and a pin to wear on their birthday. No cake, cupcakes, or balloons will be permitted in classrooms. We will, of course, celebrate academics, good behavior and attendance – accomplishments that lead to success. We will continue with school-wide assemblies twice a year to recognize the academic achievement of our students.
Coming Soon: Transportation Apps
The DPS Transportation Department will be announcing a parent app called My Ride soon. That app will allow parents to see bus route information and bus location. Additionally, in late November, the Transportation Department will also be introducing an app for students. Details on the student app will be available soon!
