Important Message from the nurse!
Dear Parent or Guardian,
The Pennsylvania Public School Code requires that students upon original
entry, sixth grade, 9th and 11th grades be given a “comprehensive appraisal” of
their health. The physical is to be completed within 4 months prior to the start of
the school year. As your child is entering a grade that requires a physical, this
letter is being sent as a reminder to follow up with your child’s physician for
completion of the form. Please return the completed form to the school nurse at
the start of the school year. If you have any difficulty in obtaining or scheduling a
physical for your child, please reach out to the school nurse for assistance.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Respectfully,
Madeline O’Brien

Dear Parents, Guardians & Families,
In the interest of everyone’s safety, we are asking for all people who are coming on to campus to pick up a student at dismissal to make sure you are on campus before 2:30pm. If you are later than 2:30 pm to pick a student up, please wait on Red Lion Road and let your child know where you are via text.
The student dismissal occurs at 2:34 pm and almost all students exit the building through the front doors. As a result of the large number of students exiting the building at that time, we need to limit the number of cars on the main entranceway.
Once the main entrance way clears the Septa Buses and Yellow Buses and the majority of the students have cleared this area, it will be safe to pull on to campus. This usually happens by 2:45 pm.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Ms. Haughton
Principal
Swenson Arts & Technology HS
Parents/Guardians can also email Secretary Danielle Smith at dsmith16@philasd.org to report an excused lateness or absence.

FERPA
Attention families: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that a school with certain exceptions obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, a school may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the school to the contrary in accordance with school district procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow schools to include information from your child’s education records in certain school publications.
Parents who wish to opt their students out of directory information releases must complete an Opt-Out Form for each of their students, and must return each form to the school at which each student is enrolled by December 13, 2024.
Find more information, including the forms you need HERE.

Beginning May 11th, the District is introducing an additional mental health support for students and families. We have partnered with Uplift The Center for Grieving Children to create a mental health support helpline for students and families. We are calling the helpline, The Philly HopeLine. This service will be available Monday- Friday from 12:00pm to 9:00pm and Saturday- Sunday from 12:00pm- 4:00pm. Support will be available by phone at 1-833-PHL-HOPE (1-833-745-4673) and by text at the same number. The service will allow students and families to speak with clinicians by video and by phone. If students and families call outside the window of operation, they will have the option of leaving a message and will be provided with a crisis phone number in case of an emergency. All messages will be returned the next day.
