Swift School 2021-22 Annual Report

Greetings Swift Community,

As we begin the second quarter of the 2022-23 school year, we have almost reached the point where what looks “normal” is taken for granted. It feels like longer than only one year ago when we were reluctantly attending school in face masks and modifying our health protocols due to what felt like the never-ending pandemic. In spite of living the sequel no one wanted to see, the 2021-22 school year proved to be a fruitful one for the Swift School community for many reasons.

For most of the school year, Swift School conducted in-person classes to best serve our student population. The year presented its challenges, but I am proud of our faculty, staff, and community for their enthusiasm, positivity, and resilience. By the end of the school year, we were able to celebrate with one another at events such as student-led conferences, Grandparents & Special Friends Day, our inaugural Boosterthon Fun Run, and a booming May Family Fest.

A review of the year shows outstanding progress, growth, and exciting new projects prior to the start of the 2022-23 school year, including:

★ A record-setting year for the Swift Fund! 100% participation from faculty and board members helped motivate a new record of over 81% parent participation.

★ The start of construction on our new campus entryway and playground project.

★ Swift School’s inaugural Boosterthon Fun Run, which raised over $40,000 for our STEAM Lab and new physical education equipment.

★ Naming Mr. Ken Cressman to the newly-created position of full-time faculty STEAM director.

★ Establishing a learning support department under the direction of Ms. Missy Baccala with assistance of two new Speech Language Pathologists.

★ Hiring a full-time Director of Athletics, Mr. Nick Luscre, and shifting Mr. Lucas Tarrant from part to full-time Music & Movement Instructor.

★ Ms. Emily Ford taking on the role of Middle Division Student Life Coordinator.

Each year, we receive letters and visits from alumni who say “Swift School changed my life.” That change was made possible by our highly skilled, expertly trained, and uncommonly compassionate faculty. Success with dyslexia starts here! If you have a story about how Swift School changed the trajectory of your academic path and your family’s life, I would love to hear it.

Introductory Letter ★ Head of School Chris Pomar

With deep gratitude and all best wishes,

“I am proud of our faculty, staff and community for their enthusiasm, positivity, and resilience.”

Faculty Professional Development

Professional development differentiates a Swift School education from educational options at other area independent private schools. As a school specialized in the remediation of dyslexia and other language-based learning differences, faculty and staff dedicate thousands of hours to professional development. Ongoing mentorship from veteran educators support new faculty and encourage growth among all teaching faculty. As a result, Swift’s faculty is highly trained, educated, and prepared to deliver instruction using practices designed for the learners. This translates directly to student achievement and success. Success with dyslexia starts here.

CLASS OF 2022 TRIBUTE

12 graduates left a lasting legacy

In a year that started full of uncertainty but brought a return to normalcy, the Swift School Class of 2022 led by example. A close-knit group of 12, the eighth grade class left their mark on Swift School’s faculty and staff, in addition to their fellow students.

The 2021-22 school year was full of accomplishments for Swift School’s talented graduates.

In May, Swift School held its National Junior Honor Society induction ceremony and inducted five eighth graders. Jackson and Julia received first-year inductee certificates, while Elise, Jonathan, Katherine, Lucas, and Quinn were inducted for the second consecutive year and received their NJHS Medallions.

Katherine competed in the Georgia Student Technology Fair and won regionals with a stunning photo of an arrow striking a bullseye. Passionate about archery, Katherine stated, “the project was meant to show that life is not always going to be perfect, but the more we try there will be a good result.”

The eighth grade students always gave their best effort, and they achieved great results. In May, their family, friends, peers, and

Swift School administration, faculty, and staff gathered to honor the outstanding group at commencement. Three students –Elise, Landon, and Quinn – received the Shining Star Award – presented to graduating students who have been enrolled at Swift School for six or more years.

Katherine was honored with the Citizenship Award for showing empathy, good character, morals, and being a positive example. Julia received the Determination Award for her academic effort.

Lucas received recognition for his dedication to athletics. The threesport athlete displayed tenacity on the playing surface and earned the Spartiate Award.

The faculty and staff voted on the Director’s Award, which is presented annually to the student who has demonstrated significant growth, socially and academically.

Quinn received the 2021-22 Director’s Award.

The talented group of eighth graders transitioned into five area high schools – St. Francis, Horizon Christian, Howard, Mill Springs, and Milton. As they make their mark on their high schools, we express our gratitude for the legacy they created at Swift School. We also remind them to try their best, be kind, lend a helping hand, and be the best friend, citizen, and student possible. We are proud of each of you. Shine on!

“We are so proud of each member of the class of 2022,” said Melissa Jozefov, Middle Division Director. “The group displayed outstanding character and work ethic. We know that they will all be successful in the next phases of their education and life.”

Dear Swift Family,

To put it simply, Swift School changes lives. My name is Alicia LoCicero, and I am a parent of a seventh grader at Swift School. When my son was diagnosed with dyslexia I knew that finding the right school for remediation was paramount. Swift was that school. The school’s tagline, “success with dyslexia starts here,” rings true. It was amazing watching my son’s frustration subside and his confidence build since entering the halls of Swift School. The support he receives throughout his day from the highly trained, caring and compassionate staff is what makes the difference. I consistently see faculty rise to the occasion and answer the call. Success with dyslexia starts because of Swift School.

I am also a member of the Board of Trustees and the Swift Fund Chair. Swift School’s parents and the community play a vital role in the school’s success.

I am proud to say that the community’s support of the Swift Fund rose to new heights with 100% of faculty and staff contributing and over 81% parent participation in 2021-22. If you are considering giving to Swift School, let me assure you that your generosity impacts each Swift student. I have seen it firsthand, and I am forever grateful.

You have helped Swift School grow from a tiny school in a church basement to one with 180 students and growing. Because of your support, Swift School is one of the leaders in individualized education for students with dyslexia and languagebased learning differences. Please consider scanning the QR Code to make a pledge that will impact current and future Swift School students.

“Because of Swift School” is our 2022-23 giving theme. It is because of your generosity that we are able to provide students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences with a life-changing education. Swift School gives students like Katherine and Julia (above) the tools they need to be successful. We appreciate those who continue to make our giving and tuition assistance programs strong.

Swift School, students acquire the gift of literacy through training and practice. Surrounded by caring teachers and supportive peers, students are taught to embrace who they are and nurture their innate gifts. They gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in life. Success with dyslexia starts here.
