Welcome to Mrs. Simmons's Teacher Page.This is my 12th year in education. Seven of those years have been in Special Education and this is my 4th year here at FHJHS. I teach 6-8th Grade Special Education Reading and Science. I provide support services for students with special needs.
I am a Flora High School Alum. I graduated from FHS in 2005 and was that year's DAR Good Citizen. I received my first certification in Jr. High and High School English Language Arts from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2009. I went back to school and completed my second certification in Elementary Education from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston in 2012. I subbed for three years throughout Clay County before being hired as a full-time aid in the Special Education Department at North Clay Elementary/Jr. High. While working as an aide, I completed my LBS1 endorsement to be certified to teach Special Education in 2015. I was hired at Geff Grade School in Geff, IL as their K-8 Special Education teacher. I worked there for 3 and a half years. This is my fourth year here at FHJHS and I am happy to be back home in Flora, IL
