Another school year has begun, and we are off and running. This school year, we are focusing on a growth mindset. I am encouraging my students to believe in their ability to learn all skills they come in contact with. I want them to have a can-do attitude about everything they do. They were created to be the best students they can be during the 2022-2023 school year. I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you hello and welcome back to Diamond Lakes Elementary. A school that is a cut above and has teachers that care about your child. I am glad to say that I am one of those teachers. I hope you feel free to contact me whenever you have questions about your child's well-being and academic concerns.                                 

 As a parent, you, too, play an essential role in our school/parent community. With support and encouragement at home, your child will experience much success with the parent(s) and teacher(s) guidance. This guidance will help them to feel comfortable and confident in school.

I look forward to working with you through the joys and challenges of this school year. You may call me on either of these numbers 706 560-0768 or 706 267-3478. My e-mail is simmoca@boe.richmond.k12.ga.us. I will be available to assist you with any questions or to help your child with any problems they may have during the hours of 7:45-3:15 and after hours with an appointment. Please feel free to call, text, or e-mail me with any questions you may have about your child's education. Be safe; know I will be there for you and your child.
