Welcome to Emma L. Smith Elementary School

Welcome to Smith Elementary, Where Small Hands Make Big Impressions.

Smith Elementary prides itself in creating a positive environment for its students and staff in showing great Panther Pride. Being Safe, Responsible, and Respectful can be heard throughout the halls of the school each and every day. Students can earn “Panther Paws” for their outstanding behavior.

We strive for community involvement. For example, a parent-teacher committee plans many of the yearly school assemblies and activities that is paid for by the Parent Teacher Organization. The PTO also plans an active calendar of events, including book fairs, our annual Winter Carnival, mileage club, box top contests, and other various activities for students throughout the school year.

We are privileged to be your partner in your child’s education and success and look forward to sharing great memories with each and every family.
