Swan Valley Families:
Thank you for your patience! As we prepare for the first day of school your student's bus routes are being sent to you in a separate personalized email from info@ezrouting.com . Remember to have your student to the stop a minimum of 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time as the route may be running early or a bit behind as the everyone acclimates to the new routes.
All students continue to receive free breakfast and lunch through September 30th.
We look forward to seeing your student in the morning.
💜🤍 We don’t like to talk about age... but these 3 Lori’s hold over 90 years of academic experience at Swan Valley School District! 🤍💜
That’s right, between their years of dedication, wisdom, and Viking spirit, these incredible Lori’s are ready to kick off another amazing year of learning, laughter, and memories! 📚✨
Welcome back, Swan Valley students and families! The 2025-2026 school year is here, and our halls are brighter because of YOU! Let’s make this year the best one yet! 💜🤍 See everyone tomorrow!

We are currently finalizing bus routes for the upcoming school year. With the transition to a new program, a high volume of late transportation requests, and the need to adjust routes due to staffing changes, the process has taken longer than expected.
Please know that we are working diligently to ensure routes are accurate, efficient, and—most importantly—safe for both our students and our drivers. We will communicate final route information to families as soon as possible.
In addition, like many districts, we are still actively searching for bus drivers. If you or someone you know might be interested in joining our team, please encourage them to reach out. Postings are on our website and we would love to talk with them.
Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we work to make sure everyone gets where they need to be.

Congratulations to Swan Valley High School, Swan Valley Middle School and Havens Elementary! All three schools have been recognized by US News and World Report as a “Best School” in their respective grade levels.
SVHS was ranked 129th in the State of Michigan and 3rd in Saginaw County. This places our building in the top 11% of high schools in Michigan!
SVMS was ranked 249th in the State of Michigan and 7th in Saginaw County. This places our building in the top 12% of middle schools in Michigan.
RB Havens was ranked 106th in the State of Michigan. Placing our upper elementary students in the top 7% across Michigan.
Shields, you do an amazing job growing our students from kindergarten through 2nd grade. Think of all the changes those littles go through, but because you don’t administer a summative state assessment, you did not receive a ranking. But in our hearts, you are number 1!
Congratulations to all of our students, staff and stakeholders on a job well done!
