Roadrunner families,
Smith Elementary is offering families the option to purchase insurance for your child’s Chromebook. This plan helps cover repair or replacement costs in case of accidental damage, loss, or theft. To purchase a plan, visit our school’s online webstore at
https://smith.ccisd.us or simply scan the QR code on the attached flyer. We encourage all families to consider this protection to avoid unexpected costs during the school year.

Help Prevent the Summer Slide! 📚☀️
As we wrap up the school year, we encourage you to keep your child engaged in learning throughout the summer. Research shows that students can lose significant academic progress over the summer months—commonly referred to as the “summer slide.”
To help prevent this, here are a few simple ways to keep your child learning and productive:
Set aside time daily for reading (libraries often have free summer reading programs!)
Practice math facts to strength and develop math fluency.
Encourage writing through journals, letters, or creative stories
Utilize learning-based educational CCISD apps & websites
Visit museums, parks, or local educational events
Let’s work together to ensure your child starts the next school year strong. Thank you for your continued support and partnership! ❤️
