Hello, Dayton Bulldogs!
An Introduction from Mr. Ryan Simmons, Principal at DES
Dear Dayton Families,
I am starting my ninth year in education, all in elementary. I spent many years as an elementary teacher in Speedway Schools in Speedway, Indiana. My school was actually located approximately a mile away from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. After that, I accepted an elementary principal position at College Corner Union Elementary School in Eastern Indiana. One interesting thing about College Corner is that the school is located directly in the middle of the Ohio/Indiana state line, so I had students attend my school from both Indiana and Ohio. Pretty unique! Although I enjoyed my time there, my wife and I are extremely excited to be closer to West Central Indiana and be a part of TSC.
I am originally from Avon, Indiana and graduated from Avon High School. I received my Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree from Indiana University-Bloomington. I have been married to my wife, Melissa, for almost 6 years. We have one daughter, Amelia, who is 4 years old and we have identical twin boys, Grant and Grady, who are 1 month old! We also have two dogs, Joey and Owen. So, as you can imagine, it is a busy time at our house!
I am so excited to get started at Dayton Elementary and my family is excited to be a part of the community. I look forward to working with you all and partnering with you to provide your student with a positive, supportive and nurturing educational environment. I am eager to get to know all of you and your children! I look forward to a wonderful school year!
We will be holding an ice cream social/meet and greet on Wednesday, August 1st from 5-7pm here in the cafeteria at DES. I'd love for all the DES students and their families to stop by, enjoy some ice cream, and meet my family and I. I hope that you can make it to this event!
Sincerely,
Mr. Ryan Simmons
