About The Teacher

Dear Parents and Students,
     Let me introduce myself.  I am Hazel Simcox, and I am blessed with a
wonderful family.  Wayne is my ever-loving and supportive husband.  Mary Ann
will begin her third year of teaching at Prescott South. Mary Ann is working
on her Master's degree, loves to dance, and teach karate. Patrick is working
on becoming an LPN. He loves the outdoors and animals. Robert will be a
freshman at MTSU.  He enjoys learning about the latest technology. Robert is
also very interested in politics and current events.  I love my family oh so
much!:)  
    We have two four legged family members.  We have a Golden Retriever named
Major, and a Jack Russell Terrier named Jackson.
    A few of the things I enjoy besides teaching are reading,
drawing/painting, surfing the internet for classroom activities, taking
photos, and spending time with family.    
     I am a graduate of TTU with a BS degree in Elementary Education and a
Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education.  I feel very fortunate to teach
at Capshaw with such excellent and professional teachers.  I have taught 
first, second, and third grades.  
     I appreciate you allowing me to work with your child; I consider it a 
privilege.  Please know that you can count on me to give my best when it 
comes to teaching your child.  I want us to work as a team.  I will need for 
you to encourage your child at home by ensuring that your child completes 
his/her assignments and helping him/her prepare for tests.  With us working 
as a team, I know that we will have a sensational year.

                                                    Sincerely,
                                                    Hazel Simcox
