PRINCIPAL CORNER
T.G. Smith Elementary Families,
We've had a great start to the school year! Students are ready to learn and we are already seeing awesome engagement.
Grade levels are competing for perfect attendance and everyone on time. The class with the most days with every student at school and on time will receive a special recognition at the end of each month. Please be sure that your student is at school and arrives on time so they can help their classroom win the special recognition.
Parking Lot Safety:
When you are walking in the parking lot with your child, please keep your child with you at all times.
PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY IN THE PARKING LOT AT ALL TIMES.
Please follow the arrows in the parking lot. Our parking lot is a one-way parking lot. When you exit the parking lot, you exit by the gym on 40th Street.
Free & Reduced Lunch Meal Forms
Please complete the Free/Reduced Meal Form as soon as possible if you think you will qualify. We have paper copies of the form as well. If you need assistance with completing the form, feel free to reach out to us in the office. We'd love to help!
Mrs. Simco & Mrs. Barron
ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
Morning Arrival:
- Just a reminder that our morning bell rings at 7:45 a.m.
- Starting Monday, August 22nd, students will be asked to walk into the building by themselves.
- Please make it a morning priority to have your child to school no later than 7:45 a.m. If a student arrives after 7:45, parents will need to walk their child to the office and sign them in for the day. In the event your child accumulates excessive tardies, a school official will be reaching out to assist you in developing a plan for arriving at school on time. This is an important skill for students to acquire at an early age.
Car Rider Arrival:
- Please do not let your students out of the car until the duty teacher walks out at 7:15 a.m.
Car Rider Dismissal:
- Students are dismissed beginning at 3:10 (M,T, Th, F) and 1:50 (W).
- Students are dismissed to the car rider dismissal area with a blue car tag. If you do not have your tag, you will be asked to park and wait until students are called outside at 3:25.
- If you are picking up a student in the car rider line, please stay in your car in the dismissal line and we will bring the student to you. If your student is not able to open/close the car door and buckle their seatbelt, please take time this weekend to practice.
- Please do not park and bring your tag to the covered walkway. This procedure was put in place to keep our students and their families safe. If you have any questions, please give Mrs. Simco or Mrs. Barron a call and we will be able to help you.
