Dear Smith Clove Families,

It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through the school year—and halfway through winter, too! February always seems to arrive quickly, bringing with it new energy, important learning, and meaningful opportunities to connect as a school community.  

A heartfelt thank you to our PTA, who continues to provide fun, engaging, and meaningful events for our children and families. We are so grateful for their time, energy, and dedication to our school community.

As a reminder, our PTA is sponsoring our upcoming Dance-A-Thon! This exciting event is a wonderful way for our children to stay active, have fun with friends, and with family support, this will support programs that benefit all of our students. We look forward to a joyful and energetic celebration!

With all that February brings, we will continue building on our academic goals while also celebrating the importance of kindness, respect, and community. These values are at the heart of everything we do, and it’s wonderful to see them reflected in our classrooms and hallways each day.

Please remember to help your child come to school prepared each day—well-rested, dressed for the weather, and ready to learn. Regular attendance plays a key role in student success, and we truly appreciate your continued support in making school a priority.

As always, communication between home and school is essential. We value our partnership with you and are grateful to work together in support of our students.

Wishing you and your family a warm and wonderful February!

Fondly,

Christine Arlt, Ed.D.
