Smithfield Elementary

Welcome back from Spring Break!

April is the month when the weather turns, and the "lightbulb moments" in the classroom become more frequent, and we start to see just how much ours students have grown since September.

Our 3-5th grade students will be participating in the PSSA's this month. We wish them the Best!

Help us help them do their best by making sure they get enough rest!

Please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the front office if you ever have any questions or concerns (570) 421-2841.
