"The community at Simis is great. The teachers have been wonderful. It's got a reputation for being a bigger school but the teachers do a great job with one on one attention to students and are always able to speak very informedly about your child, what would be good for your child, and what your child may need to improve on. It's really clear when you get to know the staff at Madison Simis, how much effort, time, and thought they put in to making sure that your child a great social experience but also gets pushed academically so they keep moving forward."

🎉 Congratulations to Ms. Jessica Mooney, 2nd grade teacher at Madison Simis Elementary School, on being named a 12 News A+ Teacher!
Ms. Mooney was nominated by Abra, the parent of one of Ms. Mooney’s former students. “I felt like in his year with you, he grew so much as a person, and that’s what any parent hopes happens with their kid. You helped him find his voice, and helped him learn how to advocate for himself, and be more accepted, and I’m forever grateful for that,” she shared.
Thanks so much to Trisha Hendricks and 12 News for recognizing and celebrating the amazing work our teachers do for their students!
