It’s almost that time again – standardized testing is right around the corner. We will be administering the CMAS Assessment starting April 9th. You play an important part in helping students give their best performance on this important test. As you know, we have been busy preparing and reinforcing the skills necessary for students to demonstrate their learning. Even though this assessment is a snapshot—one single perspective – it is important that our students have every advantage to do their very best. We don’t want to cause test anxiety, rather we want our students to be as prepared as possible. There are many ways in which you can help your child put his/her best foot forward.

Life of a Lion for the week of April 1. Have a great week.

Our Seniors have an amazing display at Otero College for the Arts Show. Go check it out along with many of our other students' art displays. We have such talented students and amazing teachers at Swink School that they are beyond the moon.

With the current and forecasted conditions, Swink School will be canceling the full day of school on Monday, March 25. Enjoy the extended spring break.
