After-School Updates
Smyser Accelerated School is extremely proud to announce that over 340 students were served in our After-School Programs this school year. Students in benchmark grades 3, 6, and 8 were able to benefit from smaller group instruction in our Academic Reading Program, better-preparing them for the mandatory ISAT battery of tests.

It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I welcome you back for the 2009-10 school year. The start of each academic year, is a perfect opportunity to reaffirm high expectations and goals for making this a dynamic and wonderful year.  As always, Smyser School strives to provide high quality educational services to all children through a variety of programs.  As tests scores continue to rise earning us both CPS and ISBE honors, it is essential for students, parents, administrators, teachers, staff, and community members to continue working together to bring resources, opportunities, and innovative programming to our wonderful school. Through synergy, everything is possible. My focus for the year is simple “Accountability, Innovation, and Differentiation”.  I thank you for your hard work.  Let’s keep the momentum moving forward.
