Smithfield Elementary

Welcome December!

As we enter the month of December, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the first half of the school year. It has been a time of great learning for our students, and I am so proud of all that they have accomplished.

As we look ahead to the rest of the school year, I am excited about the many opportunities for learning and growth that we have planned for our students. We will be continuing to focus on our core subjects, for our students with fun activities.

Thank you to all of our parents and guardians for your continued support. We could not do this without you. As always, If you have any questions, Please call our office at (570) 421-2841.

For the month of December, we are asking all students to participate in the December Reading BINGO Challenge. Students can earn a scholastic book of their choice if they complete the entire BINGO board and the Reading Reflection Sheet at home. All sheets must be turned into Mrs. Agolino or Mrs. Brescancine in the Reading Department by Thursday, December 19th. Happy Reading!

In the case of weather-related cancellations, early dismissal, and delayed openings there are many methods you can use to stay informed.
