Morning Tutorials
We are still having some trouble with students wandering into the pod between 7:25 and 7:40. We are more than happy to help your child in the morning before school starts, but children must be in the classroom no later than 7:25. They are supposed to come directly into the classroom rather than take time in the hall to unpack all of their things.
Winter Party
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Last note on jackets – if you happen to drop off a jacket, lunch box, etc. in the day, there is a bin with 5th grade’s label on it in the foyer to the front office. Please utilize this bin and it will be sent down to the grade level before lunch. We are trying to teach students to check this bin if they forgot something to see if their parents dropped it off.
PTA Spirit Nights
Nothing Bundt Cakes Spirit Week 12/5 - 12/10
Swing on by for a treat or pre-order your holiday sweets! Either way a portion of all sales and pre-orders during this week go back to our school when you tell the cashier you are from Smith! These things are awesome!
Ice Skating @ Dr. Pepper Arena (2601 Avenue of the Stars, Frisco, Texas 75034)
12/10 3:30 - 4:45
A perfect December family activity - ice skating!
Tell them you are there for Smith; a portion of each entry fee during their open skate session will be donated back to our school!
Counselor's Corner
In December Guidance lessons,we will be discussing the definition of bullying, ways to report bullying, and how to be an “upstander” not just a bystander when bullying is occurring. The topic of bullying is not just a once a year lesson. Teachers work with students during class meetings and other daily interactions to help make Smith Elementary a safe and positive environment.
