TGS FOOD DRIVE

We will have a food drive competition November 30th-December 14th. This year we have specific items we will be collecting to donate to local food pantries. Please see information below regarding our food drive.

ATTENDANCE POLICY/REMINDERS

Our school day begins at 7:45. If your child arrives after 7:45, your child will be counted tardy and must be checked in at the office.
When your child is absent, please call the office at 479-750-8846 to report your child’s absence.
You must bring a doctor's note anytime your child has missed school for an appointment.
We have bell to bell instruction (7:45-3:10) at Smith Elementary, so it is important that your child arrives on time and stays until the end of the school day. We have intervention/extension 1:30-3:00 that is targeted toward your child's needs, so please do not check your child out early unless they have an appointment.
Excessive absences and/or tardies will require you to come in for a meeting with Mrs. Simco, Mrs. Barron, and/or the attendance committee.
7 absences within a semester are considered excessive absences and will result in an absence plan/contract with the attendance committee.
