Welcome to Philip R. Smith Elementary School 

About Us

The PRS Community makes it a priority to collaborate, support, and work as a team so that all are successful, engaged, and find the joy in learning everyday. 

We believe the PRS Community:

  • maintains and fosters a caring environment based on rigorous standards, respect and good will.

  • celebrates and values individual strengths and achievements and motivates students to actively participate in their learning.

  • cultivates reflective problem solvers responsive to their environment, and critical thinkers who incorporate challenging, real world experiences.

Vision Statement

The South Windsor Public Schools promote an engaging and dynamic culture of learning that prepares students to achieve their own individual excellence. Within an emotionally safe environment, educators will foster students’ academic, social and personal growth. Our students will demonstrate critical and creative thinking, self-direction, collaboration, adaptability, kindness, compassion and civic responsibility. The SWPS graduate will possess a learner’s mindset, exhibit resilience and social consciousness and be empowered to participate in an ever-changing global society.
