The following list of school supplies has been designed to help our students be organized and prepared for a great school year. All students are asked to have these supplies with them beginning on the first day and continuing each day throughout the school year.

Please note that there may be additional supplies needed for individual classes. If so, these teachers will let students know at the beginning of the school year.

**Liquid White Out and permanent markers are NOT ALLOWED at Swift.

In addition, all students will receive a Student Agenda (called Assignment Pad in elementary school). This agenda is used to:

record assignments
manage after-school activities and long-term projects
serve as a communication tool between home and school
and is used as a hall pass.

The agenda is to be carried at all times by the student and brought home every day as well. Teachers encourage daily use of the agendas and parents should check them on a regular basis.

FYI: PE uniforms are required at Swift and information regarding the ordering of these uniforms will be sent home through PE classes at the beginning of the school year.
