The SWIS SCOOP
SWIS Updates
Dear SWIS Community,
As September comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on the positive start we've had to the school year. It has been wonderful to see our students engaged and enthusiastic as they settle into their routines. Our teachers and staff have worked hard to create meaningful learning experiences which have been seen throughout our school community.
We also continue to emphasize the importance of building character, and you'll notice new displays throughout the school highlighting key qualities like respect, honesty, responsibility, and kindness. These themes are central to our mission of developing well-rounded individuals who not only excel academically but also contribute positively to our community. Thank you for reinforcing these at home.
Looking ahead, October promises to bring even more exciting learning opportunities and events. We are committed to making this year a success, and Iām grateful for your ongoing support and partnership.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lopez
