Welcome to Smithson Craighead Academy

Welcome to SCA!
At Smithson Craighead Academy, a strong partnership between the school and parents is crucial for the success of our students. Your involvement in your child's education significantly affects their academic success and social development. Whether you have a few hours to spare or can commit to regular involvement, your contribution is valuable and greatly appreciated.
There are a couple of key areas where your support can make a tremendous difference in your child's education. First and foremost, fostering a love for reading at home is one of the best ways to support your child's learning and a powerful tool that can significantly enhance your child's literacy skills and overall academic performance. Reading together, discussing books, and encouraging independent reading can empower your child and make a significant difference. We encourage you to make reading a daily habit and explore the wonders of books with your child.
Another critical aspect of your child's success is ensuring they arrive at school on time. Consistent and punctual attendance is essential for maintaining a routine, staying engaged in learning, and building solid relationships with teachers and peers. Please help your child develop good habits by ensuring they attend school on time daily. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and will contribute to a positive and productive school experience.
Parental involvement is the cornerstone of a thriving school community. When parents, teachers, and students work together, we create an environment where everyone can excel. Your engagement, whether through the PTO, supporting reading at home, or ensuring timely attendance, sends a powerful message to your child about the value of education and community.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school. I am confident that we will make this school year remarkable together. If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me or our office, at (615)228-9886.
