Thinking about Next Year
Dear Parents,
Let's start Thinking About Next Year!
Each year, we begin planning next year's classes. Often, parents like to share specific information about their child's learning style or optimum classroom environment.
We have placed a PARENT INPUT FORM on our website now through February 5th. We extended the submission window by one week. If you have information you would like to share with us, please do so!
Just a reminder - we do not accept names for specific teachers.
Thank you!
Coming soon: Spirit Day/Night at Taqueria Del Mar
Mark your calendars! Head over to Taqueria Del Mar on Thursday, January 30 for lunch and/or dinner and mention you are supporting Simpson Elementary when ordering.
