How to prepare for an assignment
April 22, 2025
We know that going to a new school can cause anxiety, especially when you don't have all the details. We have tried to provide some useful information by having the school provide an "about us" section in their accounts. You can view that information in the "View Details" of the request.
"View Details" can be found on the assignment in the platform, or if they haven't filled it out, we encourage you to email the school so you can ask questions such as:
- What is their school dress code?
- Where to park
- Where you check-in
- Lunch expectations
- Determine if you need to bring your lunch
Note: Every request has a point of contact. Feel free to call or email this person with your questions.
Lesson Plans
We know some schools may not readily have lesson plans available. Not to worry as Swing also has a Sub Plan AI Generator that can help when you're in a pinch. Just enter the details and let AI do the rest: SubPlan.ai.
