This summer, Smithton will offer summer camps in basketball, volleyball, football and cross-country. All athletes must have:

• A current physical on record in the Main Office,
• AND this FORM completed.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services requires all incoming 8th grade students to have a Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine and a meningococcal (meningitis) vaccine.

Note: If the meningitis vaccine was administered prior to 10 years of age, the student is required to receive another vaccine. If your student has received these vaccines please provide documentation to your school nurse.

Documentation may be faxed to 214-3261. These immunizations must be completed before they can attend 2018 summer school or summer camps and /or receive schedules for the 2018-2019 school year in August.

Please contact Nurse Richardson for more information.

Smithton Standards of Excellence

As we move into the second semester of the 2017-18 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.

Enrollment activities for the 2018-2019 school year started February 1, 2018. Students had an opportunity during the school day to visit electives classrooms and hear presentations on all the choices available next school year. HERE is a list of all available courses for next year.

Thursday, February 8, 6th grade enrollment will take place during science classes. Friday, February 9, 7th grade enrollment will take place during social studies classes.

Enrollment is still a new concept to many students. They will benefit from the support of parents with this activity. It is important for students to return the signed enrollment form by the deadline of February 15, 2018. There will be no changes made to course requests after March 1, 2018.
