Everyone is a learner at Smith! Today Dr. Esdale, Mrs. Davis, Mr. Lacherza (Supervisor of English Language Arts and Services K-12), Mr. Heffernan (Supervisor of Social Studies and World Language K-12), and Dr. Biunno (Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment) spent the morning learning with Dr. Gravity Goldberg, an expert in literacy instruction and teaching for understanding in Humanities classes. They stopped into Mr. Schrettner's class to practice ways to help students push their thinking.

Oh, what a night! It was a great Back to School Night at Smith Middle School yesterday. It was well-attended, and the families had the opportunity to hear from Dr. Esdale, Mrs. Davis, and all of their children's teachers about our fantastic middle school program. High-level academics, a supportive and inclusive learning environment, and an exploratory program that is second to none. It's a great time to be a student at Smith Middle School. Go Rams!
