The administration and staff at Swasey Central School recognize that all students have areas of learning strengths and weaknesses. No two children learn in exactly the same way. Swasey's teachers take learning styles into consideration when teaching lessons, and this approach helps children to utilize their strengths. Support Services at Swasey Central School would like to share this list of resources to help you work with with your child's learning strengths and differences at home.
