The Weekly Update #4
August 24th, 2025

Back to the Grind!
What a remarkable first week of the school year! I can't brag enough on our students and staff for such a seamless smooth start! The excitement and positive energy in the building was contagious! It is going to be a remarkable school year with tons of learning and lots of fun!
ALL THE THINGS
As we begin the 25-26 school year I just want to remind you of a few of our procedures and expectations so we are all on the same page.
As a four day school week our doors will now open at 7:25 with the tardy bell ringing at 7:45. Students eating breakfast should plan to arrive in plenty of time to eat. If your child does not eat breakfast they report directly to their classroom as we no longer meet in the gym.
Dismissal begins for the Elementary at 3:10 with our final dismissal bell ringing at 3:20. We encourage end of the day transportation to remain as consistent as possible for the safety of our students. We understand things come up and alternate arrangements sometimes must be made. If that is the case we ask that you contact the elementary office with those changes by 2:30.
If your child is a car rider please stay in your vehicle and follow the procedures we have in place. We will load 4 vehicles at a time and then dismiss all four at the same time. We realize the routine was a bit long the first few days however, it will become more efficient as we learn the vehicles. Additionally, your child should have brought home a name paper to put on the dash of your car to help us move you through the line faster. If you need to buckle car seats please pull forward to the no parking zone.
Smithton has a district wide Facebook page and an Elementary page. We encourage you to follow those to stay up to date on our happenings. Below is the link to both pages. The Elementary page will provide you insight into the learning and fun taking place in our building and keep you updated on Elementary specific events.
Additionally, Smithton communicates through the Rooms app. If you don't have the Smithton R6 app, please download it and more information will come regarding enrollment into the Rooms platform.
Lastly, if you have not completed enrollment please contact the Elementary office to get that take care of at your earliest convenience.
