Dear Smith Stallions,
What a great week we've had! Students will not have school on October 15th and 18th due to teacher professional development days. School will resume on Tuesday, October 19th.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS & UPCOMING DATES:
- NO SCHOOL: October 15th and October 18th are teacher work days. Students WILL NOT attend school on these days.
- TEXT COMMUNICATION: We send out important school information via text. If you'd like to sign up to receive text notifications, click the link below or CLICK HERE to complete the form.
- PTA (Parent Teacher Association): Thank you to those who attended our first PTA meeting of the year! PTA is a great way to get involved at TGS. Please consider becoming a member of the TGS PTA. We will be sending home another membership form next week. Your membership supports our students and our TGS PTA.
- FUNDRAISER: We will be sending out information soon regarding a BBQ fundraiser to raise money for a new electronic sign. Stay tuned!
- BOOK CHARACTER DAY CHANGE: In the past, we have had Book Character Day close to Halloween. This year, we will have Book Character Day during Read Across America Week the first week in March 2022.
- LOST & FOUND: Our lost and found is growing! Please be sure to label your child's belongings (jackets, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, water bottles) so that we can return them if they are misplaced. We posted a video on Facebook of the items currently in our Lost & Found. If you see something that belongs to your child, please call the office and let us know.
- ARRIVAL: Please do not drop your children off in the mornings before 7:15 a.m. The doors do not open until 7:15 a.m. so there is not duty personnel available until then. Also, please be sure to only use the right lane to drop off your children. School begins at 7:45 a.m. each day. If you do not arrive by this time, you will need to park to come check your child in at the office.
- DISMISSAL: If your child is a car rider in the afternoon, you will need to have a car tag with your student’s number on it. If you do not have a numbered car tag, please call the office at 479-750-8846 and we will make sure we get a tag made for afternoon pickup. If you do not have a number when you pick up your child, you will need to park and wait for the line to clear. Typically, our car rider dismissal ends at 3:20. Please try to pick your child up by 3:20 p.m. so that our duty staff are able to leave on time.
Have a restful, long weekend and GO HOGS...BEAT AUBURN!
Mrs. Simco & Mrs. Barron
