Happy last week of Julyl! Hard to believe but next Saturday is August!
Just some reminders for the upcoming week. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to any PTA Board member for help!
Have a wonderful week!

Monday-Friday: Office Hours with Mr. Propst
Mr Propst will be holding daily office hours this week.
Beginning this Monday, I will hold a virtual open office hour from 11:30 - 12:30. If you want to connect, then please use this Google Meet link https://meet.google.com/sir-nvjj-swi?hs=122&authuser=0. Each day I will join the meet at 11:30 and hang out for a few minutes. If no one shows up after about 15, I'll close the meeting for that day. If you're not able to join until later in the hour, just send an email and let me know when. If you're emailing me, remember that it's [email protected].
Monday - Wednesday at 5pm: Opportunity to Change Your Plans for the Fall
Reminder: New Application Period for WCPSS Virtual Academy
All students will have a second opportunity to apply for the WCPSS Virtual Academy on July 27 - July 29. The application will close on July 29 at 5 p.m. Families who have applied to the WCPSS Virtual Academy and would like to withdraw or change their application, should contact their schools directly during this time.
Wednesday: Deadline for Completing WCPSS Technology Survey
We need all families with a student in K-12 to complete this survey for each student, regardless of your school, whether you have applied to the Virtual Academy, whether you have a device or whether you need a device. (Pre-K students’ technology will be addressed separately by the Office of Early Learning.) This short survey will help us better understand the needs of our students and make sure that we are able to meet those needs. The survey will not be available from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sunday due to network maintenance.
New FaceBook Groups for Parent Discussions
Many of you have asked for a space where you can ask questions of other parents. For example, families who have chosen to participate in Virtual Academy are looking for other families who are participating to form possible cohorts.
To help connect you with each other, the PTA has created these two groups:
- Swift Creek ES (NC) Virtual Academy: www.facebook.com/groups/scesva/
- Swift Creek ES (NC) Incoming Kindergartners www.facebook.com/groups/sceskindergarten/
These groups are private and require membership approval. (Hopefully this will prevent families from the Swift Creek ES in Virginia from posting. Believe me it happens on the PTA FaceBook page all the time. ;-)
