Once the registration is complete, Swampscott Public Schools will send families an email regarding the next steps for registration.

The Swampscott School Committee has adopted a floating attendance policy. Elementary siblings are placed together, then students who require district special education programs are placed next, and finally, all other students are placed considering the proximity to the school while maintaining equitable class sizes.

Families will be notified by email of elementary school assignments in May.
