A Note From Our Principal
I truly want to thank our PARENTS for taking on the role of teacher. That was not an easy task, but you met the challenge and worked to make sure your scholars continued their education online. Thank you for making sure they didn't miss their Zoom sessions and that they completed their daily assignments. #parentsasteachers
Thank you to my hardworking STAFF. Each of you transitioned quickly into becoming online educators. You continued to press forward to ensure our scholars still received instruction and assignments for the remainder of this school year. #mystaffrocks
To my Kindergarten through 11th-grade scholars, my babies...I miss you all! Continue to get your work done daily, make sure you're taking your attendance, and most of all stay encouraged. You're almost at the end of the school year. You can do it! I believe in you! #myscholarsarethebest
Finally, to my senior class of 2020...the one that was quarantined. I know that I've only been your principal for a short time, but I've enjoyed every minute spent with you all. Please know that I haven't forgotten about you. I know that this was not your vision for senior year, but know that the team is planning to end your year on a positive note. There's still more to come! Stay tuned. #seniorfinale
I thank you all for entrusting me as your leader and allowing me to serve the families of Thea Bowman Leadership Academy. Thank you for continuing to make us your school of choice.
Educationally yours,
Mrs. Simmons
