Swenke Elementary Paw Print
September
We have had a wonderful start to the school year at Swenke! Our students are settling into their daily routines and procedures, and our classrooms are already filled with learning, laughter, and excitement. Our teachers and staff are working incredibly hard to create welcoming and engaging learning environments, and our students are doing a fantastic job showing their Snow Leopard pride each day. Thank you to our families for your continued support as we begin another amazing year at Swenke, where everyone has a spot!
Just a reminder that the Paw Print is sent out on the first Friday of every month. Please read it in its entirety, as it contains a great deal of useful information about activities, events, important dates, and reminders for the entire month.
Lunch visitors are welcome at Swenke on Monday through Fridays; however, any relative visiting for lunch (without a child’s parent being present) must have prior written permission from the parent/guardian.
Due to space constraints, there are only so many seats available at the visitors’ table. For this reason, each child may have a lunch visitor 4 times a month.
You are welcome to bring lunch for your child if you are eating with him/her that day.
Due to food allergies and safety concerns, students will only be allowed to have lunch with their own parent/guardian. Students may not have lunch with a friend’s parents. Parents may only provide lunch for their child and may not bring lunch for another child.
In accordance with House Bill 1481, passed during the 89th Texas Legislative Session, students may not use personal wireless communication devices during the school day.
Devices include, but are not limited to:
● Cell phones
● Smartwatches
● Earbuds/AirPods
● Headphones
● Tablets
● Personal laptops
● Smart glasses
If students bring these devices to school, they must remain powered off and stored in their backpacks throughout the instructional day.
Students needing to contact a parent may request to use a school phone. Likewise, in the event of an emergency, parents should contact the campus directly rather than attempting to reach their child.
Violations of this policy will result in device confiscation and disciplinary consequences as outlined in the 2026–2027 CFISD Student Code of Conduct.
We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a focused, distraction-free learning environment.
The district is no longer using Remind and will discontinue the use of SchoolMessenger beginning in January. Please review the flyer below for information on how to sign up for the district’s new communication platform. We encourage all families to register now so they are prepared for a smooth transition in January.
