April News:
A big BRAVO to the students and staff of Smyth Road School!!! The show, Smyth Across America, was amazing!!!
Kindergarten/New Student Registration:
Families, please spread the word that the registration portal is now open on the Manchester School District website. This is for incoming Kindergarten-aged students or students who would be NEW to Smyth Road.
Here are the guidelines from the Manchester School District website regarding who is eligible for registration:
If your student has never attended school in the Manchester School District, or is returning to the district from a district other than Manchester.
You do not need to re-register current students – registration carries over from year to year.
Students must be 5 years old by September 30 in order to register to start kindergarten that year.
Here are the directions for the registration portal:
Using a desktop or laptop computer, go to mansd.org and click on the link “Register a Student.” If you do not have a computer (phones will not work for registration), you can come to Smyth Road on Wednesday, April 16th between the hours of 9:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. and 12:45 p.m.-2:30 p.m. We will have computers set up so you can complete the registration packet. We will also have some paper registration packets if needed. It is very important to register early and make sure your registration packet is complete.
If registering in person you need to bring:
2 proofs of residency. A driver’s license is not accepted, but see list on Manchester Web site for acceptable proof of residency.
birth certificate (or I-94 or green card)
immunization record supplied by your doctor
a record of your child’s recent physical examination
Phones at Smyth Road:
We have experienced LOTS of trouble with our phone lines in the last two months. Our lines have continued to go down for parts of the day. We will be receiving a new phone system later this month, and there likely will be a learning curve as we become accustomed to the new system. Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation!
Small/Tall Ball on Friday, April 11:
It is not too late to RSVP for the Small/TALL Ball! Please send in the yellow form with your cash or check payable to Smyth Rd School by Friday, April 4th, 2025. Although there may still be limited tickets at the door, it would be very helpful if you provide your RSVP to help us keep track of students who are coming.
