Welcome to Dixie Ms. Boyd!!!
Dixie Elementary Family,
As you all know, I will be the principal at Caldwell Arts Academy for the upcoming school year. While I am excited for the opportunities ahead, this transition is one of the most difficult I’ve faced, because it means saying goodbye to a place—and people—I love deeply.
Dixie has not just been my workplace; it has been my home. It has been a joy and a privilege to work alongside such dedicated staff, teach and learn with incredible students, and partner with supportive families who all share a passion for helping our children grow and thrive. The spirit, culture, strength, and sense of community at Dixie are truly one of a kind.
I want each of you to know how much you have impacted my life. From the smallest classroom moments to the biggest school-wide celebrations, I will carry those memories with me always. You have taught me, inspired me, and reminded me daily of the power of kindness, resilience, and hope.
Though I may not be on campus next year, please know that my heart will always be with you. I will always be a Dragon—cheering you on from near or far—and I am here for you, always.
Thank you for the love, the trust, and the countless memories. Dixie Elementary will always be a part of me.
With love and gratitude,
Kimberly Simmons
