    SWAS Program

    • Returning SWAS students have received commitment forms for next year to reserve their spot in the program. Incoming 3rd grade students new to the program have received invitations to apply to the program. We are continuing the process of determining who is eligible for 3rd, 4th and 5th grades for the SWAS program.

    The SWAS Program is designed for students in grades 3-5 who have been identified as gifted and have demonstrated they are high-achieving. There are three elementary school SWAS sites; Caughlin Ranch, Florence Drake, and Ted Hunsberger Elementary schools. These classrooms serve the entire school district for any student that qualifies and is accepted for this program. For more information, view our SWAS FAQ Page.
