PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS
President Barack Obama has announced he will do a special address to public school children on Tuesday, Sept. 8. That day will be a regularly scheduled instruction day in Birdville ISD, thus the speech will not be shown live. However, the district will make the speech available as an instructional resource to be used in Social Studies and other classes when it is appropriate to the curriculum. It will also be available for your viewing on the BISD website. If a teacher at Smithfield Middle School uses the speech as an instructional resource when it fits in the curriculum, you will be notified in advance. If you chose for your child not to view the speech, he/she will work in the library on an alternate assignment in order for them to learn the same instructional concept as the children in the classroom.
Meet the Teacher a Little Different This Year
Tonight’s Meet the Teacher night will be a bit different. Today during student’s RRRR they will copy their schedule so you will know the teachers you need to visit. If your child fails to bring their schedule home, you may look on Family Access for their teachers and we will provide maps this evening. There will be no bell schedule. This will be an informal meet and greet. Meet the Teacher will last from 6:00-7:00. Teachers will be have copies of classroom information and specifics of their course.
At 7:00 our first PTA Association will start. All teachers will be introduced during the meeting.
