Important Message from Principal Webb
March 10, 2023
Dear Simis Community,
As some of you may know, I have been involved with the Madison School District for over 25 years as a parent, teacher, administrator and community member. I choose to work in the community I love and have sincerely enjoyed my interactions with families and staff on and off all the campuses I have served. Whether that has been at the grocery store, a local restaurant or along the Bridle Path, seeing and talking with students and families has been a highlight of my role as an educator.
As we frequently talk about at Madison Simis, being a risk-taker is hard, but can be so rewarding. After much thought and personal reflection, I made the decision to pursue the opportunity to become Madison’s Director of Curriculum and Instruction. I would like to share that I have been selected and will be recommended to the Governing Board for this position, to begin in the 2023-2024 school year. The directorship will allow me to continue to grow my leadership abilities and serve all the students and staff in the district.
Leaving Simis at the end of this school year will not be easy. I will miss so many things that this elementary campus has provided, including a wonderful staff, an engaged parent group and the best students I could imagine. I am honored to have served Simis through some challenging times, and am so thankful to have made that journey with you. I know you will continue to be a school community that cares for one another and works together for the benefit of our children.
The Madison School District will now begin the process of selecting a new principal for Madison Simis. Members of the Simis community will have opportunities to participate and provide input during the selection process for the new principal. More information about this process will be shared in the coming weeks. I will work collaboratively with the new principal to ensure a smooth transition.
Thank you for your support of me and of Simis over the past four years. I look forward to continuing our work together as I transition into this new role within Madison.
With gratitude,
Laura Webb
Simis Principal
