3rd Grade Music Performance: The performance will begin at 6:30 p.m. Students need to arrive by 6:00 p.m.

TGS FOOD DRIVE

We have gathered over 1000 items to donate to local pantries! We will continue our food drive through December 14th. The class with the most items donated will receive a pizza party!

ATTENDANCE POLICY/REMINDERS

Our school day begins at 7:45. If your child arrives after 7:45, your child will be counted tardy and must be checked in at the office.
When your child is absent, please call the office at 479-750-8846 to report your child’s absence.
You must bring a doctor's note anytime your child has missed school for an appointment.
We have bell to bell instruction (7:45-3:10) at Smith Elementary, so it is important that your child arrives on time and stays until the end of the school day. We have intervention/extension 1:30-3:00 that is targeted toward your child's needs, so please do not check your child out early unless they have an appointment.
Excessive absences and/or tardies will require you to come in for a meeting with Mrs. Simco, Mrs. Barron, and/or the attendance committee.
7 absences within a semester are considered excessive absences and will result in an absence plan/contract with the attendance committee.
