Roy J. Smith Middle School

Good Afternoon Smith Parents/Guardians,

Last week our 8th Grade Leopards, applying for Early College High School, had an opportunity to tour both ECHS and CTC. Students learned about extra-curricular activities available to them while at ECHS and resources that are available to help them be successful. I look forward to seeing the success that many of these Leopards will have while at ECHS.

Congratulations to our theater arts student for a great UIL One-Act Play performance Friday afternoon! We are very proud of all of your HARD WORK!!

Below are some of the events happening at Smith this week:

January 29th - Girls Basketball vs. CPMS (7th Home/8th Away)

February 1st - Boy's Basketball vs. CPMS (7th Home/8th Away)

February 2nd - College Shirt Day

February 2nd - ECHS Application Deadline

HARD WORK, PAYS OFF!!

Student will be receiving their first progress report for this semester this Wednesday, January 31st.

Please look over your Leopards progress report with them.

Parents/Guardians of Upcoming 7th grade students:

This is a reminder to get your future 7th grader vaccinated to help prevent the busy back to school rush. This is to include any other vaccines that are reported as missing during the year. State law requires one dose of the meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) and one dose of the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis(TDAP) for your student to start and/or enroll in school. Please take care of this as soon as possible as clinics tend to run out of doses as it gets closer to the start of school. If you have any questions or are not sure if your student is up to date, please call the clinic at 254-336-1074 or 1075. Thanks!

This is a reminder (especially with the cold temperatures) our doors do not open until 7:30 am each morning.

We do not have staff on duty before this time to supervise students.

Did you know that we have a FREE after school program for your Leopard?

The Boys & Girls Club provides a safe place for our Leopards to stay until 6:00 pm each day.
