As withthe opening of every schoolyear, the upcoming year prom-ises to bring wonderful learningopportunities, excitement, anda variety of challenges thatyou’ve come to know andexpect from Smyrna Elemen-tary. Our teachers have beenexcitedly preparing their class-rooms and honing their teach-ing strategies, while our custo-dians, maintenance and con-struction crews have workedhard to prepare our building fora safe new year. We all anxious-ly await the opportunity todevelop a partnership in a posi-tive learning environment withyou and your child(ren) and welook forward to your active par-ticipation in our school func-tions and educational experi-ences. This communication isdesigned to provide you withsome important informationrelated to the start of the schoolyear. Attached you will find awelcome letter from your child’steacher and a supply list to helpyou prepare for the first day ofschool on Monday, August 25.Our staff will be ready at 8:30A.M. to guide your child(ren) totheir classroom and to safelydismiss them at 3:30 P.M.You will receive detailed infor-mation regarding bus trans-portation within a couple ofweeks. While some of you mayprefer to transport your child toschool on the first day, it wouldbe beneficial for your child toarrive at school by the samemeans that they will normallycome to school. This helps chil-dren learn their bus numberand to become familiar withtheir driver. It will be easier forstudents and teachers to transi-tion into a daily routine if theyfollow their expected trans-portation method from the firstday of school.

Hello my name is Cynthia McNatt the Associate Principal of John Bas-sett Moore and Clayton Intermediate. I moved to Delaware from Indi-ana with my parents in the sum-mer of 1985. Our family felt wel-comed into the community themoment we arrived. I was goinginto sixth grade so I attended JohnBassett Moore which at the timewas a middle school with sixththrough eighth grade students. Ican honestly say that growing upand attending the Smyrna SchoolDistrict schools prepared me formy future career and it showedme how important it is to be sup-portive of your community. Therefore, I wanted to give back to thecommunity and district that inspired me, so there was no doubt in mymind that I would attend college and come back to teach here. Ibegan my college career at Delaware State University where Ireceived my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood/Exceptional Chil-dren. Upon graduating I was hired at Clayton Elementary in 1996where I taught Kindergarten for nine years. In 2003, I decided to takea position at North Elementary teaching first grade. During that timeI got married and had my son Ryan. My son is now 14 and will beattending Smyrna High School as a freshman this year. In my freetime I enjoy spending time with my family and watching my son playfootball and baseball. Three years ago, after teaching in the class-room for 17 years, I decided to go back to Delaware State Universityto get a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership to pursue mydream of becoming an Administrator. Consequently, on July 1, 2014my dream became a reality when I was named the Associate Principalof John Bassett Moore and Clayton Intermediate Schools. In conclu-sion, I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with a caringand dedicated staff from both schools and I am very excited to meetthe students on the first day of school. I know without a doubt thiswill be a great year to learn!!
