Back to school

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students: 

Welcome back Simpson families!

It is our deep honor and privilege to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year at Simpson Elementary School. Whether you are a seasoned Little Indian or starting your first year, the faculty and staff are thrilled you will be a member of our family. We know this will be a successful and engaging year filled with many opportunities to make memories.  

As an introduction for those that may not know us, last year was our first year at Simpson Elementary School as an administrative team. Many changes were made prior to the start of last school year, including welcoming Norwood Elementary School students to our campus. As a faculty and admin team, our schools united and provided our students with a positive learning environment. We genuinely believe that formulating a positive relationship with parents/guardians is key to ensuring our children have a successful school experience. As a team, with your support, children will be prepared for academic success as well as have the opportunity to reach their full potential. 

At Simpson Elementary, “We Love Well”.  This is our mission statement that we take seriously.  Our expectations for everyone in the school community are based upon respect, responsibility, and safety.  We teach these beliefs and expectations by modeling them daily. 

We are happy to be a partner with you in supporting your children as they grow.

  • Education is a shared responsibility of the school, family, and community. s

Our Goals
