Back-to-School Information and Helpful Tips for Families Swartz Creek Community Schools will welcome students back for the 2025–2026 school year on Wednesday, August 20. Please note that the first day will be a half-day PM for all students. See dismissal times by building listed below. To help families prepare for a smooth start to the school year, here are a few helpful tips: 1. Ease Into a Routine: Start adjusting your child’s bedtime and wake-up time now. Getting into a consistent routine before school begins helps students feel more rested and ready to learn. 2. Practice Lunch Skills: If your student is in the younger grades, take time to practice opening lunch items such as snack bags, containers, and juice boxes. This helps build independence and confidence during lunch time. 3. Organize Supplies: General supply lists can be found on our district website. Teachers will also communicate classroom-specific needs. Having a few basic items packed and ready in your child’s backpack is a great starting point. 4. Talk About the School Day: Discussing what to expect on a typical school day can ease first-day jitters and help your child feel more confident heading into the new year. 5. Label All Belongings: Make sure your child’s backpack, lunchbox, water bottle, and outerwear are clearly labeled. This increases the chances of lost items making their way back home. Early 5s and Kindergarten Families: You will receive information in the mail regarding a one-hour welcome meeting on the first day of school. Parents attend this session with their child to help support a confident and positive transition into school. βΈ» Open House Dates: Monday, August 19 Grades K–5: β€’ Syring Elementary: 6:00–7:00 PM β€’ Morrish Elementary: 6:00–7:00 PM β€’ Dieck Elementary: 6:30–7:30 PM β€’ Elms Elementary: 6:30–7:30 PM β€’ Gaines Elementary: 6:00–7:00 PM Middle School (SCMS): β€’ 4:00–6:00 PM β€œWelcome Back” event High School (SCHS): β€’ Monday, August 26: 6:00–7:00 PM βΈ» First Day of School: Wednesday, August 20 (Half-Day PM) Dismissal Times: β€’ Swartz Creek High School: 11:16 AM – 2:20 PM β€’ SCVLC: 11:26 AM – 2:25 PM β€’ Swartz Creek Middle School: 11:26 AM – 2:30 PM β€’ Dieck, Elms & Gaines: 12:30 PM – 3:25 PM β€’ Morrish & Syring: 12:50 PM – 3:45 PM βΈ» Please note: Building office staff will return to work the week of August 12, and principals will be sending emails with important school-specific details to help families feel fully prepared for the first day.

Dear Swartz Creek Families and Community Members, As you may be aware, Flint & Genesee Economic Development has presented a proposal to purchase Morrish Elementary for $40 million. If accepted, the sale would fully fund the construction of a new school building elsewhere in the district, without additional cost to taxpayers. The transition to a new building would not occur before Fall 2028. It’s important to know that the Morrish Elementary site sits adjacent to land that may soon become a large-scale manufacturing zone. This proposal would allow the district to relocate the school before significant development takes place in that area. We know this is an important decision for our district, and we want to hear your thoughts. Please take a few minutes to complete our brief survey by July 14, 2025. Your input will help guide the Board of Education as they consider the future of Morrish Elementary and the broader impact on our community. Link to survey: https://forms.gle/GRJUh1dg5bUhGkyi6 Additionally, we are planning a community Town Hall meeting on July 17 at the Swartz Creek Performing Arts Center at 6:30 PM. More details will be shared soon. We hope you’ll join us. Thank you for partnering with us as we plan for the future of Swartz Creek Community Schools. With appreciation, Jim Kitchen Interim Superintendent
