Daily Update, 8/14

Hello McSwain Community!

It is back-to-school week! As we eagerly prepare for students' return this week, look at the information below.

Data Confirmation

Please log in to your Aeries teacher-student portal and complete the data confirmation process.
This process is essential as it lets you see your child's grades, teachers, and bussing information. It also authorizes your student's picture in the yearbook.
Please pay special attention to the Supplemental tab under student info, as this houses your child's transportation information and has been updated today with bussing times.

RAPTOR ID Check-in System Reminder

Your child's safety is our number one priority.
A reminder that starting the first day of school, we will begin to use the RAPTOR ID check-in system as part of the entry procedures.
We will introduce mandatory ID checks for all guests that come to campus.
This helps verify visitors' identity and instills a more controlled environment, dissuading potential threats.
While our commitment has always been the safety of our students and staff, this proactive step will ensure that we continue to make McSwain the safest school possible.
Please continue to be on the lookout for additional information regarding our safety protocols.
