Swink School District -

Welcome back from Spring Break. Here is the Life of a Lion for the Week of March 25.

With the closure for three days before spring break due to the increase in illnesses, Swink School will need to make up additional hours to stay in compliance with CDE and state statute. To achieve this, starting Monday, March 25, Swink School will extend the school day by 15 minutes with dismissal at 4:15 pm. Additionally, school will be held on Friday, May 17. Thank you for your understanding and we hope everyone returns on Monday healthy from a long spring break.
