Swanson
Elementary School

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.

Many Swanson students participated in our 3rd annual Literacy, Math and Science night on February 26. Activities were planned around our All District Read books. There were many fun things to do like a hamster wheel obstacle course, a Breakout box, math estimation, a scavenger hunt and snacks of popcorn and snow cones. It was great to see so many families come together to participate in this celebration of reading, math and science!

Congratulations to team D for winning Battle of the Books!  We had a great time reading some fun books and answering trivia questions. Thank you to all of the parents who were able to give of your time and ask the questions.  Thanks too, to Ms. Crayne for facilitating our BoB Club and to Mrs. G for all your help! 

 We hope your children enjoyed the books and maybe even tried something new. We will see the fourth graders next year for some more battles!
