It is with great honor and excitement that I introduce myself, Jon Simpson, as the new principal of Waldo Middle School.  I have had the privilege of working in East Aurora School District since 2009.  During that time I have worked as a high school social studies teacher, high school dean, and middle school assistant principal.  Whether my time has been spent in the classroom, on an athletic field, or in the office I have always been provided the opportunity to work with fantastic staff, students, and parents. 

Parents, teachers, support staff, and administration all play a vital role when it comes to encouraging and supporting our students to be active and engaged learners.  As principal, it will be my goal to provide every student with the best instruction, extracurricular opportunities, and additional supports as possible.  Students travel different paths during their educational career and at Waldo Middle School we will support all children during their time here. 

The number one goal for all East Aurora Students is to provide them with a meaningful education that allows them to graduate from East Aurora High School with a diploma.  At Waldo Middle School, we will support students with the transition from elementary school into middle school and provide them with the key foundations needed to be successful in their transition from middle school to high school.

I am very passionate about education and I look forward to partnering with all Waldo parents and guardians to provide our students with a rigorous, engaging, and high-quality middle school experience.  There will be a parent advisory committee that meets regularly during the school year and I encourage you to be a member.  If you would like more information on the parent advisory committee please contact myself or our parent liaison, Sandy Diaz at 630-299-8391.

Once again, I am truly honored to serve the students, staff, and parents of Waldo Middle School and I look forward to a successful 2017-2018 school year.  Please reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas that you would like to share.  

Sincerely,

Jon Simpson, Principal
K.D Waldo Middle School
