About the school: Semmes Elementary is a school where teaching and learning is a priority. We focus on growing our teachers and staff through engaging professional development and collaboration. We have implemented many initiatives in order to reach these goals, such as Tech Tuesday, data meetings, instructional rounds, peer mentoring, and book studies. Our school also promotes a love of reading. One way we do this is with our wonderful book vending machine. Students love to get coins from their teacher and purchase books to read. We are also known for our high academic standards, and we strive to focus on the whole child through the implementation of clubs, extra-curricular activities, increased community involvement, and technology integration. Semmes Elementary is truly the best! 

Our motto at Semmes Elementary is to "Prepare Young Minds to Soar." We do this by investing in our teachers, staff, and students in order to foster an environment of learning where everyone strives to reach their full potential.
