Families and Swan School
Parental involvement in the activities of the school is appreciated, encouraged, and a crucial element in the development of a successful learning experience for the children. From helping kids read in the classroom to performing maintenance and cleaning chores, families regularly give many hours each month to keep Swan School standards high. We maintain a Parent Library in the office of titles parents are welcome to borrow at any time.
