What Happening this Week?

Exams @ Smithville Christian 

Students, we hope that you have a great finish to the semester. To help you do so, here are a few important tips:

1. The uniform dress code will be in effect during exams.
2. No cell phones or other smart devices are permitted in the exam room. Teachers will your devices when you enter the gym and will make them available to you when you leave. Students who have devices in their possession while writing exams will be given a zero on the exam and will be dismissed from the exam room.
3. Once you have finished your exam, you may go to your lockers but loitering in the halls is not permitted, as the school will be considered a study area during exam week. If you are unable to find a ride home, you may study in the lounge or learning commons.
