Greetings Stallion Family,

After a challenging 2020-2021 school year for all, I am thrilled to welcome back our scholars for the 2021-2022 school year. Our theme this year is #unleashyoursuperpower!

It is my hope that our students, parents and community members found time to enjoy family, relax and unplug. This is going to be a very exciting year and we are looking forward to seeing our students and families in person. Our faculty and staff are working to ensure we are ready to welcome scholars back and provide quality learning environments that will lead to the success of all scholars. We are focused on #SuperStallionSuccess this school year and look forward to all the great things to come here at Smith Elementary. Again, welcome back and I look forward to an exciting school year!

Hello Smith Family,
