#Engage, Energize,& Educate
October 16, 2025
Dear Families,
Tomorrow is the PTO Trunk or Treat event. Please bring your peanut free candy donations with you, along with any new or gently used board games you are able to donate. Sensory friendly hours are from 5:00-5:30pm.
Snacks & Water
There is a large number of students coming to the office for water bottles and snacks on a daily basis. We have also noticed that during lunch there is also a large number of students looking for extra food in the share bins and in our refrigerator. We highly recommend that you talk to your child to ensure they are getting enough to eat on a daily basis.
Hot Spot
If you tend to have difficulty with your internet connection and you would like to sign out a hot spot for your child(ren) to have access for online homework. Please email me at tviera@smithfield-ps.org.
Fire Safety Assembly
On Wednesday, October 15th all classrooms participated in a fire safety assembly thanks to Lieutenant Steve Carberry, Sparky, and the other fire fighters. Thank you for reviewing safety tips on keeping us SAFE!
