In an effort to balance out the length of academic periods and maintain the integrity of the daily schedule we have decided to run delayed openings on a new schedule. The schedule is listed below. All periods will now be 31 minutes long on delayed opening days and classes will be in the same order as on any other day. We will use this schedule for all two hour delayed opening days for the remainder of the year.

Please join us on Wednesday, January 18 at 7:00pm in the Smith auditorium for an informative and frank discussion on your child's digital life. Parents will hear from Media Specialist Tori Gredvig and Technology Specialist Kevin Harvey on the digital life Smith's students are living. Topics include the good and the bad of being online, protecting your child and his/her privacy and future, and dealing with bullies, aggression, and social status. The event should last about an hour and is open to parents only.

Smith Middle School will hold an informal presentation for parents called, "Growing Up Online," on January 18, 2012 at 7pm in the auditorium (originally scheduled December 2011). More information to come!
