Military Families
Welcome
Thank you for checking out the military resource page on Sims' website. If you are new to the area or to Sims, we want to welcome you. Our goal is to provide you the best transition possible and to welcome your family into the Sims Patriot Family. You will find several resources below that may be of use to you as a military-connected family and you can download each document.
More information about our school district, the Sims Facebook page, and other useful links for educational opportunities can be found on our school's homepage.
Additionally, the Military & Family Life Counselor is available Monday through Friday to discuss any concerns or needs you have as a military-connected family and may be reached by calling the school.
