Welcome!

Longswamp Elementary school prides itself on being a community school with strong personal connections to the parents, kids, staff and community. It is an atmosphere where you will be greeted by friendly faces and kids are excited to come to learn. We also recognize the pressures of today’s society and maintain a safe, effective learning environment where children are free to take chances and explore as they learn through their important first years of school.

The faculty and staff here at Longswamp elementary focus on the needs of the children and strive to foster open communications between the community and school. We recognize this crucial stage in the development of our K-4 students and do our utmost to make learning fun, interesting and creative. Our school includes Title I services, ESL services, a full time guidance counselor, and class size reduction in grades 1-3. Through high expectations we hope to instill a positive attitude for learning, school and themselves.
