Welcome to Smiley!  

Smiley Elementary School provides an environment and opportunity for all students to achieve their full potential while becoming responsible citizens and independent thinkers. At Smiley we inspire a community of leaders and learners to achieve their highest potential in an academically rigorous and joyful learning environment that celebrates our cultural diversity. Through our comprehensive instructional program and a nurturing, secure environment, students are empowered to become lifelong learners. We are continuing to celebrate the successes of our students through Awards Assemblies and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. Our school is a place where partnerships between teachers, students and families are vital and collaboration in the classroom is the norm. We are committed to a student-centered approach, believing that the questions, ideas, and interests of our students serve as the most authentic source for motivation.  Within the Smiley community, students begin to understand their ability and responsibility to positively impact others, as fellow students and citizens. Thank you to all of our students, parents, families and staff that continue to make Smiley the best! We are looking forward to having an AWESOME year!
