💪💙 Kindness Week – Day 4: Work It Out with Kindness! 💙💪

On Wednesday, February 18, district administrators received a report concerning the conduct of a classroom teacher. Upon learning of the matter, the district promptly notified local law enforcement and placed the employee on suspension with pay pending the outcome of an investigation. The district takes all reports involving employees’ conduct seriously and follows established procedures to ensure concerns are addressed appropriately and in accordance with district policy and applicable law. Because this matter involves an ongoing investigation and personnel issues, the district is unable to provide additional details at this time. The district will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement and will take appropriate action based on the findings of the investigation. The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority.

💕 What a SWEET time at our Valentine’s Dance! 💕

5th graders at East Elementary made cakes from scratch as they embarked on learning about the properties of matter, and how heat and a catalyst can cause a chemical change that binds the ingredients together.

Behind every successful school day is a team of dedicated professionals ensuring students arrive safe, on time, and ready to learn.

This week, we are proud to celebrate Bus Driver Appreciation Week. Our transportation team navigates more than just roads; they navigate the responsibility of student safety and well-being with incredible grace.

Please join us in thanking these essential members of our educational workforce for their commitment and hard work. 🏫🚛

This is a reminder that Swain County Schools will be closed on Friday, February 13 for a scheduled, mandatory teacher workday.
