Swink School District -

Good Morning Swink Lion Families. We are off to a great start this morning with our school day. We are operating as normal. If you are unfamiliar with our normal safety procedures, all staff carry radios, exterior doors are always locked and continually monitored throughout the day, and staff is always observing students when outside. Students and staff are in good spirits today. Thank you everyone.

Swink School will have school on Tuesday, May 14. The Sheriff's Department has determined there is no longer a threat to the school. Thank you for all of their efforts in keeping us safe.
