McSwain Union Elementary School District Home

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.

Thank you for your continued support of McSwain Union Elementary School District. We look forward to another outstanding year together.

Best,

Mr. Pannu

Hello McSwain Community,

I hope you are well. I am pleased to announce that we have successfully completed negotiations with our CSEA (California School Employees Association) unit here on campus and have reached a tentative agreement. On behalf of the District Office, I want to thank the bargaining team for their dialogue, discussion, and the ongoing partnership between the district and CSEA. I am pleased that we were able to conclude this process collaboratively.

I look forward to continuing to work alongside our classified members as we close out this school year and prepare to open the next school year in August.

Best,
Mr. Pannu
