Due to the potential for inclement weather, the Trunk or Treat is being moved to the Smithville Rec Center.
It will still be an amazing event for the entire family...we can't wait to see you there!
We continue our Principals Month by recognizing the wonderful Mrs. Amanda Hudspeth, Smithville Junior High Principal!
What is a "Day in the Life" of Mrs. Hudspeth look like??
🌞🐓Each morning begins with arriving on campus and reviewing staff coverage to ensure all classrooms are supported
Check in with staff to see if anyone needs assistance or resources.
🙋♀️During passing periods, you’ll find me in the hallways greeting students.🙋♀️
Visit classrooms to observe the wonderful teaching and learning happening across our campus.
Morning announcements and our daily joke to start the day with a smile. 🤣🤣🤣
Lunch duty, parent meetings, addressing concerns, supporting instruction during Professional Learning Community (PLC) planning, attending administrative meetings, and often cheering on our students at after-school games or events. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Did you know that teen overdose deaths nearly TRIPLED from 2019-2021??
Join us, during Red Ribbon Week, to discuss drug and fentanyl awareness and learn what you can do to help keep your student safe!
The theme this year is also a reminder: safety doesn’t begin or end with the bus ride. It’s about Safety at Every Stop—from the moment a child leaves their front door to the time they return home.
🛑 Stay alert. - Slow down in school zones and neighborhoods.
🛑 Stop for the bus. - Obey the stop-arm law every time—no exceptions.
🛑 Support accountability. - Technology and enforcement work hand in tandem to change driver behavior.
🛑 Raise awareness. - Share facts, resources, and personal stories that open eyes and change hearts.
Let's all help keep our buses a safe place for our students!
Enjoy the long weekend and we will see you all back on Wednesday, October 15th.

Students learn about the intent, meaning, and importance of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, and examine the relationship between the ideas in these documents and subsequent American history.
Smithville ISD honors those who lost their lives and the heroes who saved so many on September 11, 2001.
We will always remember...
