Good Afternoon Swansfield,
Our students had a smooth transition back to school this week. Changes to the routine aren't easy for anyone, so we appreciate their perseverance. On behalf of the staff I would like to thank our parents that met with us for parent & teacher conferences. Discussing your child’s progress is essential to their development and we value the partnership.
As always, our PTA spoiled the staff on our conference days. Yesterday, they treated us to a fabulous lunch catered by Mahana Fresh. There were also many delicious desserts donated by our community. It was such an awesome treat. We can’t thank the community enough for your support!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend! ~ Anthony J Esposito, Principal
