Swan School prides itself on putting children first. Since 1983 we have always asked ourselves, “What is best for children? What supports the educational needs of Swan School students?”
Beginning in 2012 Swan School will be enhancing its strong program by balancing the school calendar. This is a move that will support families in their efforts to provide their children with the best possible educational experience.

Dear Swan School Families,
Wow, this weather!! Friday, 1/20, Swan School will start 2 hours late and preschool will be cancelled. This is due to the predicted icy road conditions in the morning which are expected to get better by late morning.
That said, I know that the weather and conditions can be quite different from place to place. One person told me that they have nearly 2 feet of snow where they live while at my house we have about 6 inches. Another parent told me that the roads near her home were quite treacherous while someone else told me just the opposite about the roads near her house. If you feel that the conditions at your home are simply not safe enough to travel to school on, please feel free to stay home. In other words, check out the conditions near your house in the morning and then use your discretion as to bringing your child to school or not. You and your child’s safety are much more important than a Friday spelling test.
You have likely heard by now that our winter concert has been postponed until February 3, ironically due to winter weather.
Hopefully I’ll see you tomorrow… or next Monday.

Dear Swan School Families,
I hope you have all had a fun-filled snowy Wednesday. The roads are still quite slick and the forecast is for the snow to stick around for at least a day longer. Because of this school will be cancelled for tomorrow, Thursday 1/19.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that after a few more snowmen are built, conditions will improve enough for school to be back in session on Friday!
