Smithtown Students Begin New School Year

Students and staff from the Smithtown Central School District kicked off the 2017-2018 school year this week.

On Thursday, loaded with supplies, elementary students filed into their buildings, some for the first time, to meet their new teachers and connect with friends.

That same day, students at the middle schools and high schools navigated through the hallways, checking their schedules and locating their lockers.

During the summer months, incoming kindergartners met their new classmates and saw their new buildings.

The three middle schools also held sixth-grade orientations to help newcomers get acquainted to their surroundings.

Ninth-grade students at Smithtown High Schools East and West also received their schedules and lockers and toured their respective buildings prior to the start of the school year.

After reconnecting with their friends throughout the week, students began to ease into their new routines and settled in for a productive school year.
