Smithfield Elementary

Dear Families,

As we flip the calendar to May, the halls are buzzing with a unique kind of energy. We are entering a season of "lasts" for some and "next steps" for all. While we are all looking forward to summer break, our focus this month is on finishing strong.

Our students have worked incredibly hard this year. Now is the time to encourage them to keep that same momentum in their learning and kindness until the very last day.

Thank you for your continued partnership in making this school year a success!

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.
