WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO APPLY ONLINE WHENEVER POSSIBLE. 

Simle's Parent Advisory Committee is looking for new members to get involved for the upcoming year. This is a great opportunity for parents to get involved in their student's school.

Parents and students are invited to visit teachers and classroom areas during Simle's Open House on Tuesday, August 23rd, from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.  Please bring your class schedule along so you know which rooms and teachers to visit. 

You can bring school supplies to your locker, deposit lunch money, drop off immunizations, and/or purchase physical education t-shirts.

Simle does not accept delivery of floral arrangements, balloons, gift bags, etc. for students.  Floral shops have been notified of our policy and should not accept orders to be delivered for students. 

We also ask that parents do not drop off outside food for their student.  No restaurant or fast food deliveries for students will be accepted. Students have the choice of bringing a cold lunch from home or having the school’s lunch options. 

Students that are out of the building during lunchtime should eat before they return to school.  Please do not bring outside food in to the school. It is not allowed in the lunchroom or classroom. No speciality drinks such as lattes, ice drinks, etc. are allowed.

If you change ANY phone numbers or emails please contact the office at 323-4600 or email with the updated information. Most of the information the school sends out is via email or phone. It is VERY important to keep your child’s contact information current.

If you change your ADDRESS, please contact Central Registration, 323-4110 or online here.

North Dakota requires all 7th & 8th graders to have received the meningococcal and Tdap vaccines prior to 7th grade, or if you're new to the district as an 8th grader.  Vaccinations can be given any time after the student's 11th birthday. 

Students who are not up to date or don’t have an exemption turned in by October 1 will be excluded from school and this will count as an unexcused absence.  Contact your child’s health care provider or Burleigh County Health (355-1540) about the immunizations your child will need. 

Updated immunizations or exemption forms can be dropped of at our front office, faxed to 701-323-4605, or emailed to our school nurse Kelsie Neibauer . If you've already submitted the required documents, another copy is not needed.
