Smithville ISD is excited to welcome BACK to the Tiger Family, Mrs. Bailey Mathison!
Bailey previously taught at Brown Primary school before leaving for a few years to be MOM to her three beautiful children. They are all now school-age and she is excited to get back in the District. She will be at Smithville Elementary serving as a Special Education Resource Teacher.
"It's truly one of the most rewarding feelings to see a child's face light up when they finally accomplish their goal! I can't wait to meet all of the little Tigers that will be with me this year!"

Dear 5th Grade Families,
We are excited to celebrate our 5th grade students as they reach this important milestone!
We do need to share a small schedule change. Our 5th Grade Completion Ceremony was originally scheduled for 9:30 AM; however, due to a conflict with the junior high completion ceremony on the same day, we have adjusted our time to allow families with students at both campuses the opportunity to attend both events.
New Ceremony Time: 10:00 AM
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility, and we look forward to celebrating our amazing students with you!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Ms. Brockman

🎲✨ What a wonderful way to wrap up the 5th Graders year at Smithville Elementary!
Our 5th Grade Parent Involvement Event brought families together for a fun-filled Board Game Family Day, and it was truly a success! Parents and students had the chance to sit side-by-side, laugh, compete, and most importantly...connect.
Through games, our students showed off so much more than just their competitive spirit. We saw critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and great sportsmanship in action. It was amazing to watch students guide their parents through strategies, explain rules, and demonstrate the skills they’ve been building all year.
This event was a perfect reminder that learning doesn’t just happen in textbooks...it happens through experiences, conversations, and quality time together. Thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make this day so special! ❤️

Our first graders had a great time learning about the importance of trees for our environment this week. Each class planted a tree around the Elementary School and Red Brick building. We greatly appreciate our partners, Schneider Electric, who donated the trees and helped with the planting.
Throughout the last few weeks of school, SES students will have the opportunity to consider their "Future Me" through career discussions in their classrooms. To celebrate these discussions, we will have a "Future Me" dress up day. See the attached flyer for details.
Today at Smithville Elementary, our 2nd graders had an idiom parade and it was as fun as it sounds.
For those who might not know, an idiom is a phrase that doesn’t literally mean what it says...like “it’s raining cats and dogs” or “hold your horses.” They’re expressions we use all the time, even if they don’t make perfect sense word-for-word.
Watching kids bring these to life by dressing up, acting them out, and really getting it was such a reminder that learning sticks best when it’s hands-on and fun.
