Is postponed-more communication will be forthcoming.

PTO Valentine's Hearts: Send your child a Valentine that will be displayed outside his/her classroom! Each message costs $1 and will be attached to a paper heart,  and placed outside your child's grade-level classroom. All messages are due by Friday January 30th. Please see the attached form or more details and the message format.  

Tickets for the 2026 PRS Night at the Hartford Yard Goats game will go on sale Wednesday January 28th @ noon. Tickets are limited and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. 

Join us on the field pre-game to hold the big flag during the National Anthem! Check out some PRS staff throwing out first pitches! Finally, stick around for the post game fireworks show! This should be another great event for our PRS community! 

Check out the attached flyer for information on the 2026 PRS Night at the Hartford Yard Goats!

Join us on January 21 at the Red Robin in Buckland Hills (Manchester) and enjoy a meal while giving back. 20% of food sales will be donated to the Philip R. Smith PTO when you mention the fundraiser or show the flyer. Dine in or order to-go—every bite helps support our school!

Each month, you’ll have a chance to enjoy a meal with family and friends while supporting the PTO’s efforts to fund the popular  Math Mobile and Book Vending Machine.

Mark your calendars now for the whole school year, and keep an eye out for flyers at the beginning of each month with details. Every bite makes a difference—thank you for helping our students grow and learn!

We hope you can join us for our Annual Cultural Celebration which is scheduled for Thursday, March 5th. Look here for more information!

Just a friendly reminder...

If you want to walk your child to the door or assist with their backpack/materials, please park in a parking spot.

This allows the flow of traffic to keep moving!

An unverified absence is when we do not hear from parents about the reason for a student's absence. Per the district policy and state guidelines, if a student has four unverified absences in a month or ten unverified absences in a school year, a student is considered truant. Please make sure you are communicating with the office through an email, phone call or through the parent portal if your child will be absent from school. To date we have 85 unverified absences.

Student attendance at school is so important for many reasons. We meet monthly to look at attendance. Here are a few tools to help you understand the importance of attendance and when to send your kiddos to school.
