Our hope is that every family will attend, but if your family is unable to join us, staff will be available to help students find their classrooms and teachers on the first day of school.

Welcome Back!

Hello McSwain Community,

I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer! We are excited to welcome our students and families back for the 2026–2027 school year. Our staff members are preparing to open our schools and are eagerly looking forward to another great year. As I shared earlier this summer, several much-needed construction projects are underway, including the replacement of more than 50 air-conditioning units. These improvements will help ensure that our Mustangs remain cool and that our facilities are ready to support their growth and learning.

We are also completing much needed renovations to student restrooms and installing solar panels. These projects will modernize our facilities, generate long term cost savings, and make our campuses even better places for our students, staff, and families.

On behalf of the McSwain School Board and District Office, we look forward to seeing everyone soon. Please watch for additional back to school information and important updates from our school administrators and staff.

We will see you soon, Mustangs!

Best,
Mr. Pannu
Superintendent

Welcome Mr. Solis!

Dear McSwain Families and Community,

I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer. For those students I had the opportunity to see at the Merced County Fair this morning, it was wonderful to witness the pride, responsibility, dedication, and hard work they demonstrated while showing their animals. Moments like these are a great reminder of what makes the McSwain community so special.

I am excited to share some important news regarding leadership at McSwain Union Elementary School District.

After a thorough selection process, we are pleased to announce that Mr. Solis has been selected as the next Principal of McSwain School.

Mr. Solis joins us with a strong commitment to supporting student success. Throughout the interview process, he demonstrated a passion for building positive relationships with students, staff, families, and the community. His student centered approach, collaborative leadership style, and dedication to academic excellence make him an excellent fit for the McSwain community.

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, Mr. Solis is eager to begin meeting our students, families, and staff. He looks forward to continuing the strong traditions of excellence at McSwain while working alongside our community to support every student's growth and success.

I would also like to extend sincere gratitude to Mrs.Sanders for her years of dedicated service to McSwain School. We are thankful for her leadership, commitment to our students, staff, and families, and the positive impact she has had on our school community. We wish her nothing but success and happiness in her future endeavors and thank her for the many contributions she has made during her time at McSwain.

Please join us in welcoming Mr. Solis to the McSwain family. Additional opportunities to meet and connect with him will be shared as we get closer to the start of the school year.
