Principal's Message
Dear McSwain families,
Welcome to the 2024-20245 school year! As your principal, I am delighted to welcome both returning and new families to McSwain. I hope that you are as excited as we are to embark on a new year of learning and success.
McSwain School is devoted to creating a warm, supportive, and challenging environment where every student can flourish. Our dedicated staff is here to nurture each student's academic, social, athletic and emotional growth, and we take great pride in the strong, inclusive community we have built together.The successes exhibited by our students are a direct result of the support they receive at school and at home. We are grateful for our partnerships with our families, and we thank you in advance for fostering these partnerships this school year.
In order to maintain positive relationships with your child(ren)’s teacher(s), please keep open lines of communication. Teachers utilize different communication tools, such as phone calls, emails, dialers or smart phone applications to stay in contact with families.. Please use Parent Square to reach out to any teacher you need to contact, and please set up an Aeries Parent Portal account to monitor your child(ren)’s grades (fourth through eighth grades).
At McSwain School, there are many ways you can be involved. Please stay tuned and look for notes that will be sent home by the McSwain Education Foundation and the McSwain Community Parent Club. Through fundraising efforts, these two organizations contribute greatly to the overall well being of our school. In addition, please be on the lookout for correspondence from your student’s teacher(s) regarding additional opportunities to support your child in and outside the classroom.
Please take some time to look through and note the policies we have in place to guarantee safety and overall well-being for students, staff and families, then sign and return the acknowledgement form found in your child(ren)’s first day packet(s). Keep this handbook in a safe place so you are able to refer to it through the duration of the school year.
Additional events may be added to our online school calendar on our website: www.mcswain.k12.ca.us . I encourage you to check our website regularly.
Thank you for trusting McSwain School in shaping your child(ren)'s educational experience.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sanders
