Preston Smith Stars' News
We are excited to meet our newest Stars as we register incoming pre-k through 5th grade students for next school year! Remember to register early to ensure your Stars have a spot at Smith. We accept in-district and out-of-district transfers pending space in each grade level, so plan to attend and submit your transfer as soon as possible!
This event will be for new families who have students interested in attending Smith next school year.
*Please note that families of students who are currently enrolled at Smith do not have to attend, but are welcome to join us. However, all current Smith students need to complete online registration in April to ensure they are placed in a class for next year.*
Online registration opens on April 3rd and can be completed here
STAAR Testing Dates & Reminders
We will have state testing on 3 days in April. We know our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders have worked hard and are prepared to do their very best on these days. Please remember that our campus is closed to guests on state testing days. Additionally, students in all grade levels will be having sack lunches in their classrooms on April 8th and 24th due to testing schedules. Look for more information and reminders from your student's teacher and on our school website and social media.
