Incoming 5th Grade Parent/Guardian Night
Good afternoon,
We will be having our Incoming 5th-grade Parent/Guardian Night on Tuesday, June 11th at 5:30 pm in the Swampscott Middle School Library. THIS EVENT IS FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS ONLY.
Please see the following links for more information about SMS, the Program of Studies, and a website that looks at the benefits of waiting to give your child a smartphone. We are also encouraging parents to wait until 8th-grade to give their child smartphones. We are confident that they will be happier and healthier without it!
SMS 101 – https://middle.swampscottps.org/about-2/
