Message from the Principal
Hello Smithfield Families!
Welcome back to what we anticipate will be an exciting year for our students! As we transition back into "doing school" please make sure you ask your child all about what they are learning and to describe all of the great things that are happening at Smithfield. Our team is so excited to see our students again! We hope you find the following resources to be helpful as you plan the month ahead. As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at (570) 421-2841.
Sincerely,
Kristin Lord

Until further notice, all classroom birthday celebrations are on hold. Please do not send any items prepackaged (or otherwise) from home to share with others.
The cafeteria is in the process of bringing back their Birthday Basket package that parents/guardians will be able to purchase to celebrate their child's special day. More information and order forms will be released from Food Services soon.
In keeping with health and safety, the ESASD Birthday Basket option will be the only type of birthday celebration permitted at this time.
