June News:
Last Day: The last day of school for students will be Friday, June 14th. This is a full day with the usual dismissal time. The last day for our Pre-K students is Wednesday, June 12th. Students will receive their report cards on Thursday of the last week of school. Attendance continues to be recorded until the last day of school! Please help ensure your child comes to school on time in our remaining days left this school year.
June 7 & 10: Field Days: Fun times outside are coming soon! The Field day schedule is: Grades K,1,2 on Friday, June 7th and Grades 3,4,5 on Monday, June 10th. Students should plan to come prepared for a day outside. This means applying sunscreen and bug spray ahead of time, and having a hat, towel, and labeled water bottle.
Yearbooks: Our yearbooks have arrived! They will be distributed on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
4th and 5th Grade Events: We will say goodbye and recognize our 4th and 5th grade students with two separate “Parting Ceremonies.” Our 4th grade students will receive their certificates of completion on Wednesday, June 12th at 9:30 a.m. while our 5th grade students will have their parting ceremony on Thursday, June 13th. Both grade levels will be “clapped out” from Smyth Road on Thursday, June 13th at 1:30 p.m. Families of 4th and 5th grade students are welcome to attend both the awarding of certificates and the Clap-Out. More information for just 4th and 5th grade families will be sent home separately.
Step up: We will be having a whole grade “step up” on Tuesday, June 11th. All students moving to a new grade level next fall will be able to meet all the new grade level teachers, hear about the expectations of their next grade level, and see some of the exciting things they will be doing.
Classroom Assignments and information for 24-25:
Please look for an email early in the week of August 26th with specific information about your child’s assigned teacher and classroom for next school year. Unfortunately, we are unable to make final determinations on class assignments until registrations are complete.
The NEW STUDENT registration portal remains open. Grade levels are filling up quickly. Please register any children new to Smyth Rd. School ASAP.
We will provide an opportunity for all students and their parents to stop by their new classroom on Tuesday, September 3rd anytime between 1:30 p.m.- 2:30 p.m. Again, you will receive the name of your new teacher the week of August 26th.
The first day of school for 2024-2025 is Wednesday, September 4th.
Additional information and School Supplies: Any additional school related information will be posted on our school web site, http://smyth.mansd.org/ during the summer. You will also find an electronic copy of our student handbook on this website. Regarding school supplies for next year, we are delighted to share some exciting news with you regarding an initiative that will greatly benefit our school community. KulaCrate, a charitable program dedicated to supporting classrooms, has chosen Smyth Road to participate in its upcoming launch this fall. Starting this August, each teacher at Smyth Road will receive KulaCrates filled with essential school supplies throughout the academic year. These crates are specifically tailored to meet classroom needs, ensuring that every student has access to the tools they require for learning. Please stay tuned for further information and updates, which will be provided later this summer. In the meantime, we encourage you to refrain from purchasing school supplies and instead invest in KulaCrate to support our students' education. This informative video provides a great overview of what KulaCrate is all about. Meet KulaCrate for Teachers
Questions/Concerns Over the Summer? Even though September is far away, there are often questions that arise in midsummer. The district will continue to post pertinent information over the summer on the district web site, www.mansd.org. Again, we will be sending out classroom assignments the week of August 26th. The district calendar for 24-25 is posted on the district web site.
Moving? If you are planning to move over the summer, or if you have recently moved outside the Smyth Road School district, please inform the office. We need to update our records and make sure records and files get to the appropriate school.
Many Thanks! Thanks again to all our volunteers this year! From popcorn poppers, field day volunteers, Small Tall Ball helpers and all the way back to Trunk-A-Treat, you have made a difference at our school by your help and positive involvement. Thank you!
