School will operate on a normal schedule at all locations on Thursday, April 2nd.
Swain County High School, Swain Academy, Middle School and PreK have been made aware of the current boil water advisory issued for the Town of Bryson City. In response to this all student and faculty drinking water sources have been covered and made off limits for use until the boil advisory is lifted. All students and staff will be provided with bottled water for their consumption on Thursday, April 2nd. Additionally, students may bring water bottles filled from home for their use. Students will not be allowed to refill their personal water bottles from public water sources. They may use the bottled water to do so if they would like.
Swain County High School and Swain Academy utilizes a storage tank that is filled weekly using public water. This tank was refilled on Tuesday evening before the water disruption and boil advisory. Out of an abundance of caution, this tank will not be used for any service other than non-potable restroom facilities until the water has been tested for purity.
Lunches will be served on a regular schedule but will be prepackaged and require no water supply from the cafeteria. Milk and bottled water will be available with lunch at the middle and high school.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and stay in communication with local officials. Should conditions change, we will notify students, staff, and families promptly. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The afterschool program is canceled at PreK and Middle School for today.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation in ensuring our students' safety.
This message is also posted on Swain County Schools website and social media. Please contact your child’s school with any questions.
Congratulations, Ms. Bridgit!
Congratulations, Mrs. Kirkland!
