Class pictures and Retake Day
November 1st, Lifetouch will be back for retakes and class pictures. Order forms will go home this Friday or you can order online at lifetouch.com:
RETAKE PICUTRE ID - EVTX9S6ZJ
CLASS PICTURE ID - EVTVXKPR7
If your child missed the original picture day, they will have their picture taken on retake day, even if you don’t place an order. If you want to order pictures, please either order online or use the form that will go home before retakes.
If your child already had pictures taken and you don’t want retakes, you don’t need to do anything. If your child already had pictures taken and you want retakes, please return the original photos by the morning of Monday, October 29th. Also notify your child’s teacher that the photos are in your child’s backpack/Friday folder so they know to look for them. If a student has already had a picture taken and the teacher doesn’t know that you want retakes (which they’ll know by the returned pictures), no retakes will be taken.
Shop and Donate at Aspen Lane
Did you know you can also SHOP and support Swigert? Now is the time to get started on your holiday shopping, and Aspen Lane has amazing gifts for everyone on your list. Or treat yourself, we won't tell.

Swigert Gives 2021
The Swigert PTA is hosting a week-long online donation drive and celebration of Swigert. Your donations are the primary form of support for International Baccalaureate (IB) staff/program, additional paraprofessionals, Spanish language education, and teacher training. The IB program alone costs more than $100,000 each year and the support given by the PTA is the sole funding source for keeping Swigert an IB school.
Back-To-School Night
Come meet your student’s teacher and learn about the year ahead. There will be 2 sessions available in order to visit more than one class or attend a variety of breakout sessions about special programs available at Swigert.
Welcome Back Breakfast
Join the Swigert staff and PTA for a fun, community event on the Swigert playground. Come enjoy some yummy breakfast and meet fellow Swigert families!

You’ll have an opportunity to say hello to your new teacher, sign up for assessment time, let teachers know your child’s plan for getting to and from school, and pick up any other pertinent information about the start of the year. The PTA will be there selling Spirit Wear and administrators will be making their way around to say hello.

Teacher Appreciation Week
As we near the end of an incredibly challenging year, we are excited to spend Teacher Appreciation Week showing our amazing Swigert teachers and paras just how much they mean to us. More details to come, but please consider supporting this effort through a donation to the Teacher Appreciation Fund at https://www.swigertpta.com/teacher-appreciation.
Swigert Auction
COVID has required Swigert to reimagine our annual auction. In lieu of this large community social event, the auction committee is launching a virtual UN-gala!
What: Back to the 80’s with Swigert - an online auction/fundraising event
Why: The pandemic has hit public schools HARD. Many of our fundraising events have had to be scaled back or canceled entirely, which creates a budget shortfall of approximately $100,000. In order to maintain the high level of IB education we have become accustomed to receiving at Swigert we must bridge this gap.
