Summer Academy will run Mondays-Thursdays only from 7:20-11:40am each day.  Students can receive support in math, reading, English and science, as well as social skills support from a counselor or our Habits of Mind class.  Questions or registration information is available from Jessica Hallin at [email protected].

 

 

Save the Date! The B.E.S.T.  Foundation Dinner is March 17th, 2018.  The event this year has an Irish theme. The dinner is a fundraiser event for scholarships that are awarded to students who attend Simley High School.  We hope to see you there!    

 

Attendance information 

Attendance at school is very important to a student’s success. We realize that at times students must miss school. If your child is going to miss school please call the attendance line as soon as possible at 651-306-7878 and leave a message with your child’s name and grade. If a student misses 2 or more days we can request make-up work.

* If you are picking your child up from school early, please send a note with your child to the office in the morning. It can be a distraction to the class if we have to quickly get a child out of class.  Thank you for your understanding!

An Important Reminder for all students & parents…

All students must be accompanied by an adult in order to attend any home athletic events. This includes all middle school events as well as any high school events. We will turn students away at the door if they are not with an adult. Please know that a parent cannot just drop a student off for the night. They must buy a ticket and be in attendance during the event.
