Equity & Access
In the Simsbury Public Schools (SPS) an equitable system ensures that all members of our community can reach their full potential.
The Encouraging Words pledge, written by students spanning across grades K-12, embodies our Vision of a Graduate and articulates our shared vision for the school community.
The Gertrude Banks Gospel Choir uplifted attendees with their performance at the MLK Day in Simsbury event, held at First Church on MLK Day. The event's theme was "Encouraging Words."
Middle school students strengthened their connections and built community through a recent activity focused on recognizing the impact of jokes and choosing encouraging words to uplift one another.
Congratulations to Dr. Wendy Ku, who received the Academic Innovation & Leadership Award at the 2024 19th Annual Women of Innovation leadership event
UConn’s Summer Teachers Institute
From June 23–25, the trio joined K–12 educators from across the state at UConn’s Summer Teachers Institute, where they explored Connecticut’s new Social Studies standards, interdisciplinary frameworks, and strategies for designing inclusive, inquiry-based lesson plans that center underrepresented experiences and foster empathy and belonging for all learners.
