STUDENT ACTIVITIES
 
An important phase of student life at the middle school is the student’s social development.
Throughout the year, school parties, picnics, dances, special assemblies, and class trips are scheduled.
These functions are a privilege and the school discipline code applies.

The eighth grade takes a trip to Washington, D. C. in the spring. This trip is a three-day educational tour of our nation’s capital. To attend this trip, behavior, attendance, tardiness, and academic grades are strongly considered.

ORGANIZATIONS YOU CAN BE SELECTED TO JOIN

An Honor Society, whose members are selected primarily on high academic achievement, is very active at Swift. To be nominated for this organization, a student must make first honors 3 of the four terms or marking periods, not fall below second honors at any time, be in good standing (behavior) and must meet the criteria designed by the National Junior Honor Society.

Peer Advocates are selected by faculty advisors and then trained in the Natural Helper Methods. They are trained to refer students with more serious issues.
Peer Mediators are selected and trained to help students resolve conflicts through peaceful means within the school setting. They always work under the direction of a faculty advisor.

  CLUBS YOU CAN JOIN

Newspaper Club meets on selected Thursdays after school in room 108.  Student reporters, writers, editors and publishers will put together The SWIFT EAGLE. Mrs. Gaulzetti is the advisor of Newspaper Club.

 Additional clubs are in the process of being finalized
