Complete the BESS

The social-emotional and behavioral screener, also known as the BESS, is open for parents/guardians to complete. The fall screening window is open through October 31st, but please complete this screener as soon as possible! BESS participation has an impact on the resources that will be available to Swansea in the future.

Parents that complete the BESS will be entered in a raffle for a chance to win Swansea gear!

Please visit tinyurl.com/bessparent to complete your student’s screening today.

Please complete the Free and Reduced Lunch (FRL) application if you haven’t already done so! Submitting this form helps secure resources for our school.

October Count is Here

The October Count window began yesterday, September 24 and runs through October 15.

It is highly important that students are present and on time to school during this window. Attendance is taken promptly at 9 a.m., so please help us get every student counted by bringing your student to school on time and avoiding booking doctor appointments during this period.
