The English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) is a committee of parents of English Learners who meet with the principal to review and discuss the English Learner program, performance data, regular attendance and how to support English Learners in language acquisition. The ELAC provides the principal with input on the School Plan for Student Achievement. Members of ELAC do not have any additional preparation or work to do. Translation services will be provided.

We have a strict policy on who can be on campus. If anybody is planning on volunteering in classrooms more than one day per school year, they will need to complete the Volunteer packet, get fingerprinted through Live Scan, complete a background check, and have TB clearance. Please see Ms. Sharon in the office for a Volunteer Packet.
In lieu of birthday celebrations in classrooms, the District recommends that parents donate a book to the classroom library, bring pencils, stickers, or other small trinkets (like fidgets) to hand out to the kids. These items may be dropped off at the office and teachers will pick them up for distribution to students at the end of the school day. Birthday parties should happen outside of school hours. Sweetwater Springs will not have birthday celebrations on campus.
