✨ Happy January, Roadrunner Families! ✨

We are so excited to welcome our students and families back to campus! We hope your winter break was restful, joyful, and filled with special moments with loved ones. As we step into the spring semester, our focus remains the same: creating a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and inspired to grow.

To our students: We are so happy to have you back! We believe in you and can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish this semester.

To our parents and guardians: Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Your involvement and encouragement make a powerful difference in your child’s success. We look forward to working closely with you and maintaining open communication every step of the way.

Here’s to a strong and successful spring semester ahead! 🎉

📌 Attendance Reminder:
Our school day begins promptly at 7:50 AM, and consistent attendance is key to student success—every day counts! To support timely arrivals:
Parents/guardians dropping off students after 7:50 AM will receive a Parent Tardy—a friendly reminder of our start time.
Students arriving at 8:05 AM or later must be signed in by a parent/guardian at the front office.

We appreciate your partnership in creating a smooth, on-time start for all students. ✨ Details about this month’s events are included below. If you haven’t already, please take a moment to review our January Family Newsletter for important updates and reminders. 💛 Beep Beep!

Roadrunner Families,

It’s that time of year when we ask for your valuable feedback regarding our Capturing Kids' Hearts initiatives here at Smith Elementary. We take great pride in the relationships we’re building with our students and value your perspective. Each year, CKH asks leaders, teachers, staff, students, and families to complete a mid-year survey. The data collected from this survey helps us identify areas of refinement to better serve our campus community. Your input is incredibly important to us as we continue to create a positive and supportive school environment for all our students.


Please take a moment to complete the CKH Family Survey by clicking the link below:

Thank you for your time and for helping us grow and improve!

Warm regards,
Lauren Stinson
