CPS Full School Day Updates
At Chicago Public Schools, we are committed to providing every student in every community with access to a high quality education, and one of our key efforts toward achieving this mission is our transition to a full school day district-wide in school year 2012-13.
Updates on the CPS Longer School Day for 2012-13
To help boost student achievement across the District, our schools need to put an end to the shortest day and year in the nation. Principals, teachers and especially students are being put at a disadvantage by not having enough instructional time to compete with their peers.
Congratulations Ms. Meath
Watch Ms. Meath, Smyser PreK Teacher and her wonderful students in action as featured on the CBS Evening News.
Parking Enforcement
Please be advised that beginning Monday, January 9th strict enforcement of the no parking zones will begin.

It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I welcome you back for the 2011-12 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, 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, Differenttiation, and Impact”.  I thank you for your hard work.  Let’s keep the momentum moving forward.
