My child got sent home because he came in contact with some that tested positive for Covid! I was assured that he wouldn't receive class grades besides the work given him through Microsoft Teams... That was a lie! He is failing two classes because two teachers gave him zero for in-class quizzes that they want to be made up! What happened to him being excused from class work!!!

No we are humans and if the dress codes stops then it not...

Sims Middle School has been a wonderful experience for 3 of my children. My 4th will attend next year and I am confident it will be just as good for him. The staff and faculty care about each student and want to succeed.
