Reminder

Coffee with Mr.P!

Once a month, we will be hosting a forum called Coffee with Mr. Pannu. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss ongoing events here at Mcswain and how we could continue to strengthen the partnership between our school and our students and families. Our first session of the year will be Thursday, 8/24, at 8:15 a.m. in the West Campus Cafeteria.

Our meeting will focus on our Blended Learning academic initiative here at McSwain!

For parents unable to make the meeting, we will also upload a presentation copy onto our website.

Donuts and Coffee will be served.

This is open to all Parents! Spanish Translation will be available.
