Simmons Elementary School
August 19, 2022
Dr. Robert Campman, Assistant Principal (rcampman@hhsd.org)
A significant change from last school year is that our Food Services department will be returning to regular meal service where students either pay for their breakfast and lunch or qualify for assistance through the free/reduced application process. Students will go through the cafeteria line for breakfast and lunch service. If you want more information about free/reduced lunch, please click here: https://www.hatboro-horsham.org/Page/316 Representatives from Food Services will be at our Open House on Thursday, September 1st to assist families with the application process.

Carline and Walker Arrival and Dismissal Notes
Carline tips and reminders
- The carline for arrival and dismissal is on the stadium side of the building.
- ALL children must exit the car CURBSIDE. It is extremely dangerous to have children exiting on the parking lot side as cars are exiting the car line.
- We are again using a family number for dismissal. If you were here last year, the number remains the same. All families will receive new hangtags with the carline numbers at the open house or on the first day of school.
- Please display your family carline number in a space easily visible by our carline staff - either on the rearview mirror or on the windshield.
- Please be patient. Do not go around the vehicle ahead of you unless you are exiting the car line or staff members instruct you to go around.
- If you arrive after 8:50 and there are no staff in the car line area, please park your car in a legal parking spot and accompany your child to the school lobby.
