Welcome New Students and Families!

Welcome to Saint Simon Parish School. As a new member of our family we want to help you navigate the tools and applications that enable transparency and ease of access to the information you need. These also support our efforts to be green. Early in the summer, you will be sent credentials for both yourself and your children that will enable you to access Schoology, a learning management and communication tool.

This site is to help with the transition and we expect by October you will have become familiar with Schoology and where you can find homework, the parent/student handbook, registration of field trips, student report cards, how to volunteer, and much more. We will offer two Schoology overview sessions in the first few weeks of school to help you get better acquainted with the tool and to answer questions. We have tried to anticipate your questions with the below information, but if other matters arise never hesitate to call or write. We are here to help.
