What We Did Over Summer Vacation

The Smackover School District’s maintenance and technology departments were busy this summer making upgrades in the district.  Check out some of the pictures below to see their hard work!

Elementary Drop Off/Pick Up by the Kindergarten Wing

We extended the awning and poured some more concrete so that students would be able to safely wait for their parents without getting wet.  We hope this will help to make afternoon pick-ups go more smoothly.

Converted “The Cottage” into an Additional Elementary Computer Lab/Meeting Space

“The Cottage” was originally the Home Economics Cottage.  When the addition was made several years ago to the main building on the high school campus, the Family and Consumer Science Classes were moved into the new addition.  “The Cottage” then became home to our distance learning courses.  Over the summer, the distance learning classes were moved into a computer lab within the agri building and “The Cottage” was converted into an additional computer lab for elementary students.  “The Cottage” also has an area set aside for meetings which can hold up to 30 people in addition to those working at the computer lab.
