Greetings Vikings,
Here we are in the final stretch of the 2023-24 School Year. The week ahead bring us opportunities to show what we know, get into the Spring sports season, and begin the push to finishing the year strong.
Our 8th graders will be PSAT testing on Wednesday, April 17th. Please do your very best to make it to school on time to avoid a complicated make-up process. We will run a schedule which will have little effect on the majority of the other grades, a aside from 7th grade eating lunch earlier than usual.
A unique opportunity is available for all OL Smith Students to take part in a Smith-run Discovery Summer Program, thanks to a grant won by our district. It will be a mix of academics and enrichment opportunities. If interested, see more information here. This program is voluntary at no cost to families. The deadline to take the interest survey is approaching.
