Smithfield Public Schools will be on a one hour delay for Tuesday, January 22, 2018 due to prepare for icy conditions around our schools. 12 month employees should report on time.
We want to remind all families that you can apply for free and reduced lunches at anytime during the school year, especially when there's a change in income. Please fill out a lunch application at, http://smithfieldri.apptegy.us/o/smithfield-public-schools/browse/36683
OCRS families, students, and staff
As we enjoy the long MLK Day weekend, let us take some time to remember and reflect on the legacy of Martin Luther King and his role in the Civil Rights movement of our country.

Students and staff at OCRS clearly got into "Sports Jersey" Spirit Day! Could it be because of an important game this weekend?
Friday learning in 1st grade and Kindergarten
Miss Burrows working with our 3rd grade students on "zooming in" on their hands and drawing the patterns of creases and lines that they observe.
The students in Mrs. Deslauriers classroom have been continuing to practice being responsible in school and their work has been noticed by others at OCRS. To celebrate their hard work, they brought in their favorite hats to wear in class!
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the PTA General Membership Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, 1/8/19 has been cancelled. Information will be sent out to OCRS families as soon as the next meeting is scheduled. We apologize for any inconvenience.
A few parents are organizing a "Got Sneakers" fundraiser for an OCRS family, The Brady Family, that could use some support. While this is a private fundraiser and not a school fundraiser, we want to help support this cause as a school community.
OCRS will be collecting any gently used sneakers from Monday, 1/14/19 until April vacation. Please bring in your gently used sneakers and place them in the specially designated bin outside of the OCRS Main Office.
Please see the email message that Mr. Barrette sent to OCRS families for more details.
The RI Healthy Schools Coalition and Farm Fresh RI are working together on a program called "Local Food Ambassador" to bring more locally grown food into school lunch programs. Please see the flyer that was emailed to all OCRS families by Mr. Barrette for more information.
Our students did a terrific job this morning at the OCRS Sing-Along! Thank you Mrs. Preston for the work that you did with all of the students. Also, families, ask about the "surprise performance" by the teachers at the end of the sing-along!
Please see the reminder below from the OCRS PTA Box Top Committee:
Please turn in your Box Tops by this Thursday, 12/20! Prizes will be going out to the top collectors on Friday, 12/21.
Mr. Barrette has a new friend in his office in preparation for the Holiday Break!
Our students are enjoying the Enchanted Book Fair! Thank you to the PTA and all of the parent volunteers for providing this opportunity for our students. There are two more opportunities to visit tonight and Friday from 4pm to 8pm.
Reminder, there is no school for students tomorrow, Thursday 12/6, due to Parent Teacher conferences. We're looking forward to seeing parents and guardians at the conferences. Also, report cards were sent home this afternoon, so please check you child's backpack. Thanks!
Somehow the teachers, staff, and students figured out it was Mr. Barrette's birthday today and surprised him with a "Crazy Sock Day" at OCRS. Thank you everyone for making it a terrific day!
OCRS was well represented in the Smithfield All Lit-up Parade by our 5th graders who also hand painted the banner #BeKind #BeRespectful #BeResponsible
