Smithfield Elementary
August/September 2025
Welcome back to all our returning families and a warm welcome to all our new ones!
I hope you had a fantastic summer filled with fun, relaxation, and memory-making. The staff and I are so excited to see our students' smiling faces fill the hallways again.
As we kick off this school year, our focus remains on creating a nurturing and dynamic learning environment where every child feels safe, valued, and challenged to grow.
We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for your child's success. Please make sure to read our Monthly newsletters and check our school website and Dojo for important updates and announcements.
We also encourage you to reach out to your child's teacher or the front office if you ever have any questions or concerns (570) 421-2841.
Here's to a wonderful and successful school year together!
