Stranger Smithton Season 2, Episode 2 is now out

Get ready for the next episode sometime next week!

8th Grade Transition & Award Celebration will take place on Thursday, May 16th at Hickman High School. Please join us to recognize the accomplishments of our 8th grade class and celebrate their transition to High School.

Students need to arrive at Hickman High School by 5:30 and meet in the Old Gym. Make sure to wear appropriate attire.

A special guest speaker will be Mr. Tony Gragnani, the Hickman High School Principal.

In a hard fought game, between teachers and the combined forces of 6th, 7th and 8th grade students, the students were able to edge out a win in yesterday's Teachers vs. Students basketball game.

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped to organize this event.

Students at Smithton were treated African Drumming, Dancing and Storytelling today from Africa Fest 2019.  

Parents of 6th and 7th grade students:

Your student will require an up to date Tdap (Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis) booster and Meningococcal vaccine to begin 8th grade. Missouri state law requires all incoming 8th grade students to have proof of these vaccines.

If you are unsure if your child has up to date shot records, please call (573) 214-3266. Many doctor’s offices give these vaccines between ages 11 and 12. Most students have received these shots but have not turned in updated shot records.

If your student is up to date, your doctor can fax records to (573) 214-3261 or email to RHrdina@cpsk12.org.

Smithton Standards of Excellence

As we move into the second semester of the 2018-19 school year, it is important to remind our students of school expectations.  As the school year comes to a close in May, the following standards will be used to identify students who will be able to participate in non-academic “fun” events.  All end of the year events are considered a celebration of the hard work and accomplishments of our students.  The school’s administration and faculty are committed to help and support all students in meeting these expectations.

Attendance: 90% attendance rate (with possible exceptions) using the current semester data.

Discipline: No major office referrals. Chronic buddy and/or recovery room visits may also be considered.

Achievement: No failing grades on the most recent Individual Progress Report (IPR).  There is an opportunity for students to bring their grade to passing prior to predetermined date of an event in order for the student to be eligible for an event.

This information will be shared with students on a regular basis.  Their advisory teacher will be available to respond to student questions and support a student’s progress.

Chris Drury, Principal

Hello Smithton Family,

Since I started here it has felt like home. We have a dedicated staff that comes to school each day to make sure that Smithton is a positive environment where our students feel welcome and can work towards excellence. They have high expectations for all students and are tireless in their efforts to make sure they help our students meet those expectations. They are continually working to improve and push each other to help make Smithton great. Our students work everyday to be their best and constantly impress and inspire me.
