Are you interested in meeting with your School Counselor or School Social Worker?   We are excited to let you know that you may now request an appointment via the Simley homepage.  No more waiting in the counseling office or trying to find one of them. Simply go to the sign-in link, which can be found on the left-hand sidebar of Simley's home page.  You may access this link via your phone or any computer, laptop or tablet.  This link will take you to a Google Form where you will enter your name, grade and best time to call you down.  It's that simple! Students should use this Google form for all reasons including mental health, academic, scheduling, etc.  There is also a sign-in kiosk located next to Ms. Wang's desk.  All information is confidential.   



The Gymnastics team had a meet before the break and the final score was

On Friday, January 25th it will be Club Photo Day where we have a photographer from Lifetouch come to take photos of each group. They also have a unique opportunity of having a second photographer there to take photos of seniors who did not take a senior photo for any reason. If possible can this message go into the parent announcements?

 

 

 

Attention parents and guardians of seniors: If your student did not take and submit senior photos, but would still like to be in the yearbook, please contact Ms. Hensch ([email protected]) to reserve a photo time. Lifetouch will be at Simley on January 25th to take professional photos of seniors who want to be in the senior portrait section of the yearbook, but were unable to take photos on their own. This service is free of charge to all students. If your student did take senior photos but has not yet submitted them, please send them to [email protected].




Anyone hungry?!  Please join us for a nice, warm bowl of chili and some great company this Friday, Jan. 4th at Shepherd of the Hills Church in IGH from 5-8 pm.  The chili feed is part of Lauren Henninger’s National Honors Society senior project where she is trying to raise $10,000 to re-establish a B.E.S.T scholarship fund for a dear friend Michael Hoeft who tragically died in a car accident in 2009.  Michael was an student/athlete at Simley High School graduating in 2007.
