Summer office hours are in effect at this time. The school office is staffed Tuesday - Thursday from 9am-1pm or by appointment. CHOICE cards will be available during office hours.
Our first day of school for the 21-22 school year will be on Wednesday, 9/1/21. (Our PK3 program, which meets only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, will have its first day on Thursday, 9/2/21. ) September 1 will be a regular, full day of school with both early drop off and aftercare available. Click the Student Life tab from the home page of our website for information about these programs and for annual registration and reservation forms. Simsbury residents should expect that the town of Simsbury will publish bus routes on their website a week or 2 before school begins. An email will be sent to families eligible for bus transportation when the routes are available that will include the annual passkey to access the routes.

There will be a check in table to stop by first to receive name tags, and you may hand in any paperwork/checks (Health forms, Hot lunch/milk payments, iPad insurance, etc.) you might have.

Back to School Forms - Back to School email packets will be sent to all fully enrolled families (i.e., families that have returned a completed Family Enrollment Form AND $250 Family Enrollment Fee) from the SMSOffice email account later this week. The packets will be sent to the email address we have on file as your "family email address".
