Swansfield News 3.8.24

Good Afternoon Swansfield,

I hope this communication finds you well. We had another busy week at Swansfield Elementary. 

A special shout out to our 5th grade students that took part in MISA testing this week. They were determined and focused during the testing block. I would like to also provide a special thank you to the 5th grade teachers for their flexibility during this time. As we all know, testing would not have taken place without the organization and teamwork of our amazing assistant principals, Mr. Carter & Mrs. Madden! 

Have a great weekend! ~ Anthony J Esposito, Principal
