Dear Families,
We are so excited to welcome you all into the building on Thursday, August 17th from 5:00 – 6:00 for Meet the Teacher Night! It will be an awesome opportunity to connect as a community, see classroom placements, meet the teachers and peek into classrooms. Class lists will be posted so that you can see who your child’s teacher is, and then we encourage you to walk to the classroom to have a quick look and say hello to the teacher. There will be maps posted to help you find the room and plenty of Swigert staff around to guide you to the right spot. While quickly visiting the classroom, please do not allow children to play.
After you’ve visited classrooms, we invite you to head to the playground to enjoy a photo area, music, and time to mingle with other families. There will also be a shave ice truck available for purchase. Make sure you stop by the tables to sign up for PTA, help in your child’s classroom as a room parent, and to order spirit wear.
Please understand that teachers have just been able to get back into their classrooms, so most of the rooms do not look “finished” or like they will once we are ready to start school. Also, we ask that you use the time for a quick introduction with the teacher, but save all personal questions and conversations about your child for a private meeting with the teacher. This will ensure that everyone has a chance to say hello in the short time we will have together. If you need to contact the teacher around specific concerns or questions for your child, we encourage you to reach out via email. All teachers’ email addresses can be found on the website, at this link: https://swigert.dpsk12.org/faculty-staff/staff-directory/
If you are unable to come Thursday evening, no problem. All classroom teachers will send an email out with a welcome letter and electronic sign up for assessment Thursday afternoon.
We look forward to seeing all of you as we kick off a great year!
