PRS Field Day
All students will be participating in Field day on Friday June 6th from 9:30-12:30. Mrs. Beeler is looking for parent volunteers to facilitate the many stations for our students. Stations will be set up and ready to go with directions also. This is a very popular volunteer event so please sign up ASAP. If you would like to work a station with a specific volunteer, please sign up for ONE slot but put both volunteers names in the comments. Please use the link below to sign up. Looking forward to a great day! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508094DA8AF2CA1F49-57032398-field
Rainbow Spirit Day-June 5
As a fun way to build school community and PRS Pride, we are asking grade levels to wear a specific color of the rainbow.
4th Grade: Red
5th Grade: Orange
3rd Grade: Yellow
2nd Grade: Green
1st Grade: Blue
Kindergarten: Purple
We will gather all together on the field as a whole school community for a photo opportunity with a drone that will fly overhead to take our picture. Time TBD.
Our messaging to students will be to have pride in yourself, respect others, include all and spread kindness.
Transportation Form for 25-26 school year
All student bus information will be posted to your Parent Portal in mid-August. This will include the student(s) bus number, bus stop location, pickup time and drop-off time.
Additionally, the 2025-2026 Transportation Information Form (TIF) is now available for completion. A completed TIF is required for all SWPS students, except for Role Model POP children. This electronic form can be found by logging into your PowerSchool Parent Portal account, located in the "Forms" section. If you have any difficulty in accessing your account, please contact the school's main office for assistance.
Bus stops are determined by this form therefore, it is extremely important this form is completed no later than June 30th to allow for the timely creation of the 2025-2026 bus routes. Please know this form can be updated and/or changed at any time however, no changes will be processed between the moratorium dates of 8/20/25 to 9/03/25. Please allow five (5) days to process any changes.
To avoid any confusion, only the 2025-2026 TIF will be available for completion after April 30th. If transportation changes are needed for the current school year or if you have any questions regarding the TIF, please email or call Marlene Pouliot, Transportation Coordinator, at mpouliot@swindsor.k12.ct.us or (860) 291-1252.
