Dear Simpson Families,
Happy Spring! It was wonderful to see so many of you during last month's Parent-Teacher Conferences and our recent Georgia Milestones Parent
Meeting. Parental involvement is so important! Thank you for your support and participation in your child’s education at Simpson Elementary! During the testing window of April 21st - May 2nd, we look forward to our 3rd-5th grade students demonstrating all they have learned when they take the Georgia Milestones End of Grade (EOG) State Assessment.
Our teachers have created many learning opportunities to help students succeed and we are confident that they will do well. As a gentle reminder, please make sure your child has a good night's rest, eats a healthy breakfast, and arrives at school on time. We need your help and support to make these last few months be successful for all of our students! I thank you for all that you do to support our Simpson Superstars, and please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance. Have a wonderful spring break during the week of April 7th-11th!
Proud to be your principal,
Dr. Taffeta Connery
A HUGE thank you to all of our amazing book fair volunteers—your help is truly invaluable and makes this event so much fun for everyone! We had an incredible turnout at our Grand Opening, with over 120 students attending!
Special shoutout to Ms. Ford’s 2nd-grade class for having the most attendees—they've earned an ice cream party!
An extra BIG thank you to Laura Pusateri, Annie Woo, and Diana Shehadeh for all their behind-the-scenes work and beautiful decorations. You are the best! đź’™
And, of course, THANK YOU to all of our shoppers and supporters for making this book fair a success!
