Simmons Elementary School
February 22, 2023
Dr. Robert Campman, Assistant Principal (rcampman@hhsd.org)
This week at Simmons Elementary, we are participating in the African-American Read In as part of our Black History Month activities. Since 2019, classes within the school have partnered up to share stories that are written by Black authors or that feature Black characters. We believe it's important for all students to have mirrors that reflect their own experiences as well as windows into the experiences of others throughout their elementary school years. The morning announcements have featured famous Black Americans in different fields such as technology, mathematics, and education.

The final collection week begins tomorrow. We are collecting toiletries such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and toilet paper. First place is Critter Time with Dr. Campman. Second place for the final week is a read-aloud with Dr. D'Angelo.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IMPORTANT CHANGE TO THE HHSD VOLUNTEER FBI CLEARANCE PROCESS: Anyone wishing to volunteer in the School District of Hatboro-Horsham, that has not resided in Pennsylvania for ten (10) years or more, may experience a two-week waiting period for approval of their FBI clearance. The district can no longer access the FBI clearance database for those requiring this verification. The official FBI clearance documentation will be sent to your home. Upon receipt, you need to supply the District with the official clearance record, so we can copy it and maintain it in your file. Volunteers who require the FBI clearance must allow ample time for this approval process. Should you have any questions please contact Ryan Bloomfield, Human Resources Assistant at rbloomfie@hatboro-horsham.org.
