It is very important that parents call the school when their child is sick or absent for any reason. We ask that you call by 8:00 a.m. so we know if we should include them in the daily lunch count. Our final lunch count for students and parents must be reported by 8:30 a.m.

Congratulations to our September Character Trait Nominees. They were nominated by their teachers for the trait of “RESPECT”
Snow Guidelines for Simmons Elementary The snow is coming sooner than we think. We go out for morning, lunch and afternoon recess until ‐10 degrees. For the before school recess, we will only go out when it is 10 degrees or above. Students wearing Full Gear may play anywhere on the playground, black top or field. Full gear is defined as coats, boots, snow pants, cap and gloves. Students without boots may only be on snow cleared areas of the black top. After a fresh snowfall, the only area cleared is right next to the wall. Students are not allowed to throw snowballs or play “King of the Hill” on the snow piles. Students are not allowed to slide on the ice.
The Winter Program is right around the corner! Please mark your calendars for our program on December 8th. Please use the gym door entrance. School Messenger School Messenger is what Simmons Elementary uses to inform parents of school closings and emergencies. To ensure this information reaches you, please have your correct phone numbers to the office.
Box Top winners for October were: Colbie Heiser (Kindergarten) and Molly Peterson (First Grade)
Thank you to all of the families who made their child’s education a priority and attended Parent Teacher Conferences. Working together is the best way to ensure your child’s academic success.
Puberty DVD
Fifth grade parents are invited to preview the puberty DVD’s on Tuesday, November 22nd. The preview session will be held at Mike Miller Elementary, which is located at 3010 Milwaukee Avenue NE. The DVD’s will be shown in the Multi‐Purpose Room at the following times:
5th grade girls 12:15 p.m. 5th grade boys 12:45 p.m.
These DVD’s describe the physical and emotional changes that children go through during puberty. The program for students will be presented at Simmons Elementary on Friday, December 2nd. One of the elementary counselors presents the program for the boys and one of the school nurses presents the program for the girls. If you have any questions regarding these programs, please call the Health Office at 725‐7833.
