Our Mission Statement:

The Helen I. Smith School elementary students, staff,

 parents, and community will cooperatively provide a

safe, child-centered environment that builds self-esteem, self-confidence, and the essential skills necessary to become independent, life-long learners in an ever-changing

world.

The school provides a caring environment that

encourages excellence, mutual respect, honesty,

 responsible decision making, citizenship, and

appreciation of cultural diversity.
