Have a great Summer, we'll miss you!   

SwansonFest 2020

We are excited to share Virtual Swansonfest with all of you! What is great about this opportunity is that you have the chance to participate in over 60 different sessions! Most of the sessions need limited supplies and the ones that do need things are easy to get!  Another benefit of the Virtual Swansonfest is that the slidedeck will stay active even after May 29. Most of the sessions have videos available to watch, so you have the chance to come back to it and try any of the activities as often as you would like.

When it was determined the traditional 5th Grade Recognition Ceremony wouldn't be held at the end of this year, the 5th graders came together to use some of their funds to support a local non-profit.  The students voted and decided to donate $500 to the Elmbrook Humane Society. The gift was received with extreme gratitude, and we are proud of our students for looking for an opportunity to help others during these unprecedented times.

Several Swanson students in grades 2, 3 and 4 participated in the Spring Noetic Math Contest.  There were 14,500 students across the nation that participated! Individual achievements are listed below!  Additionally, the grade 2 team earned a Team Achievement Award for scoring in the top 10 percent of all teams participating! Congratulations to all!  Click for more info!

Ms. Davis' math class participated in a math contest offered through the Wisconsin Math League in February.  They competed against 32 other teams consisting of grades 5 and 6 students.  Swanson placed 10th in the contest and our Alex Hahn was our top scorer placing him 23rd across all students competing!  Congratulations to all!

Parade photos can be found in this folder and on this website.  Thank you to all the families who came out, we loved seeing your faces!

Beginning on Monday, March 16 - Friday, March 20, all Elmbrook Schools will move to virtual learning and no students will report to school.

On Thursday, March 12 Governor Evers declared a Public Health Emergency for the State of Wisconsin and called upon the people of Wisconsin to work aggressively to slow the spread of COVID-19. We take this responsibility seriously, as we consider the impact of our decisions on students and their learning, our families and staff and their personal and professional responsibilities, and the greater Elmbrook Community. As we learn from others' experiences with COVID-19 both across the country and around the world, we want to answer one question with confidence; 'Are we doing all that we can to keep our students, staff members, and community safe?'

To view the communication sent home to District families and staff please visit the Coronavirus (COVID-19) webpage here.

On Thursday, March 5, author Linda Sue Park visited Swanson Elementary to speak to all district 5th graders and Swanson 4th graders - 700+ students and staff members.
