Smothermon Elementary School

Even during a winter shutdown, the work continues behind the scenes! While schools and district offices are closed and we stay warm inside, our maintenance and custodial teams are braving the cold to care for our facilities. ❄️👏 It truly takes a village, and every staff member plays a vital role in creating safe, welcoming spaces for our students to learn and grow. We’re so grateful for this amazing team that shows excellence every day, in every way!

🌧️ Weather Update 1 for Prosper ISD Families

School will proceed as normal on Friday, Jan. 23. However, due to the potential for extreme weather beginning Friday evening, all after-school and weekend activities, fine arts, and athletic events and practices are canceled from Friday, Jan. 23, through Sunday, Jan. 25.

We will continue monitoring conditions closely with local meteorologists and emergency management and will share updates as we evaluate our status for Monday.

Stay warm and safe this weekend.

Together We EMPOWER! Last week, our 2nd grade teachers had the opportunity to observe 3rd grade during their collaborative planning. They watched as the team analyzed an upcoming assessment and created a “Know/Show” chart to clarify what students are expected to know and be able to do, and how we can support them before introducing new learning. This is a great example of the strong Professional Learning Community at Smothermon, where teachers work together to ensure student success.

Our school is gearing up to save lives, help our hearts, AND our community through Kids Heart Challenge - a fun and impactful program for students and families!

Together We EMPOWER!
Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade teachers were immersed in engaging learning and modeling of Shared Reading today. Teachers collaborated in grade-level conversations and then modeled what Shared Reading can look like in the classroom. Students were highly engaged and loved the experience, while teachers participated in meaningful discourse about how to bring these practices into their own classrooms.

Together We CHAMPION!
Our fifth graders rocked their rhythm challenge in music class! Students stayed on beat while saying words and then explored rhyming patterns together. They were super engaged and truly on point with their learning.

Heads up, students and families! ‼️📢 Prosper ISD campuses will be closed Monday, January 19, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We will see you back in school on Tuesday morning.
