Chris Drury, Principal

Hello Smithton Family,

As of July 1st, I have taken on the role of principal here at Smithton Middle School from Dr. Schumacher who has retired. I am excited about this opportunity to serve as principal at Smithton. 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.

Smithton Standards of Excellence

As we move into the second semester of the 2016-17 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.
