This summer has just flown by! We are now in the final countdown to the beginning of the year.
We hope that you are finishing up your last minute back to school preparations and will join us for Meet the Family on Thursday!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any board member! Look forward to seeing you in person soon!

Meet the family, Thursday 5-6:30pm
When you arrive, please come through the front entrance and receive your Meet the Family checklist from the PTA. It will tell you where to go to complete tasks such as:
- Verify transportation or get a carpool tag
- How to meet our Creative Arts Team (music teacher, gym teacher, media specialist, and art teacher)
- Join the PTA
- Register to be a Wake County Schools Volunteer
- Pick up your School Supply Kit (if you ordered one at the end of last year). If you do not attend Meet the Family, your kit will be delivered to your child's classroom. If you have questions about these kits, contact Laura Monaghan at [email protected].
PTA Needs Volunteers at Meet the Family
All these activities need volunteers to run smoothly. To help ensure that all families have an opportunity to meet their teacher, we've broken down the shifts into 30 minute slots. If you can help at the event, please sign up today!
Welcome back Students on Aug 29
If you cannot attend but would still like to contribute, we'd love some posters to hang around the school with well wishes. If you are interested in making a poster, contact Marie Dexter at [email protected] for pick up.
Sign up to volunteer today!
Kindergarten Meet the Teacher, Sept 2 3:30-4:00

PTA Provides Gift Cards for Staff
The teachers and staff received these gift cards on Friday and were so grateful!
THANK YOU for making this happen! You can continue to support our staff and our students by donating to the Cougar Fun Run later in October. More details coming soon!
Volunteer for Read-A-Book Program
The program runs Monday through Friday, from 8:30-9:15, when the bell rings. You can volunteer one day or more, if your schedule allows. There will be training for the program, but know that you are well qualified to help students. In order to participate, participants will need to go to Swift Creek Elementary School Monday through Friday, from 9:00 A.M until 3:00 P.M. to register with the county. Please consider registering as soon as possible so that we can start the program in early September.
