Simpson Elementary School: September 2023 Edition
Picture Day is Coming!
Jostens will be at Simpson Elementary on Thursday, September 21. You will receive an email directly from Jostens PIX with order information once photos are available online. You can preview your child's picture online before you buy! All students will have their picture taken regardless of purchase. Picture retake day is scheduled for November 16. These will be the only picture days for this school year. There will not be school pictures in the spring.
Student Accident Insurance
The safety of our students is of critical importance to all of us and we want to protect them from injury. Even so, accidents do happen (at school and elsewhere) and required medical care can be expensive. Please know that the school does not assume responsibility for such costs but does offer you access to several student accident insurance plans for voluntary purchase. Details can be found in the attached brochure/enrollment form.

Smartwatches
This is a reminder that smartwatches fall under the category of electronic devices (the same as cell phones) as they have the ability to send and receive messages/calls. If a student brings a smartwatch to school, it needs to be turned off and kept in their backpack during the school day. Should you wish for your child to wear it during the day, please contact Mr. Cady for approval on an individual basis. For it to be approved, it must be for medical necessity such as a physician/family wanting to keep track of activity/steps or if it is purely used for GPS and does not have communication abilities comparable to cell phones.
