Open House, Sept. 7

Smithville Elementary will hold an Open House on Tuesday, September 7th from 5 p.m. to 6p.m. The Open House will showcase student’s work and celebrate a great start to the school year. Immediately following Open House, a Title 1 and PTO meeting will be held in the cafeteria from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Due to the number of people attending Open House, we ask that individual conferences be scheduled at a different time. Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 21, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. We respectfully request that any individual who is sick or has been exposed to Covid, please plan to attend the Parent Teacher Conference in October, instead of the Open House. We will keep you informed of any changes that may become necessary for this event.
