Smothers Elementary seeks to build collegiality and collaboration among the staff and foster an environment where students love to come to school and teachers love to come to work. We place the highest priority on reading, writing, and math instruction to ensure that our students have the skills needed to be career and college ready. We provide targeted interventions and supports to meet students’ academic and social-emotional needs as a means of developing the whole child. Smothers students will be critical thinkers, problem solvers, and productive citizens. We leverage the help of our community to make Smothers a great school because it is a school for the community.
