Greetings Simon Family!
As always, it's my privilege and honor to serve as principal of Abram Simon Elementary School, the "pride on the hill"! We are off to a wonderful start to SY 2023-2024 as we are committed to R.O.A.R. out L.O.U.D! Simon is moving on up as we strive to live out our mission and vision to become "an exemplar 21st century school where students engage, enjoy, and excel as they become change agents in an ever-evolving world."
I'm happy to report that teachers are teaching, students are learning, and lots of joy and happiness is filling our hallway! As we come to the end of the first quarter, here are a few reflections and requests...
- None of this works without you. Please partner with us in as many ways a possible to ensure the success of our children. Check your children's bookbags daily for homework and notices. Ensure you are connected via Class Dojo. Participate in school events. Communicate any concerns and suggestions with us. We are in this together!
- Students need to be in school, EVERY DAY AND ON TIME! Please ensure your babies are here before 8:45 each day and stay in school until dismissal in order to ensure they receive all the instruction that they need to be successful. We appreciate you limiting late arrival and early dismissal for the purposes of health appointments and/or emergencies ONLY. Please be reminded that early dismissal ends at 2:45 pm.
- Our students are brilliant, sweet, and inquisitive! They have all grown so much already and we are proud of the work they and their teachers have done.
- We are here to help! Simon is privileged to have the support of many community partners who provide a variety of services and resources. Please reach out to the school if there is anything you might need. We can't help you if we don't know what you need. Communication is key!
Please be on the lookout for upcoming events and opportunities to engage with administration. Know that I don't take this assignment lightly and am here to use my voice and position to elevate us all! As always, I love you and there's nothing you can do about it.
In Service,
Principal Eborn
