| Dear Summit Families, Parents, can you believe we are eight weeks away from finishing our school year? Let’s make sure we close the year strong so, please remember to check your student grades in student portal, it is the best way to support your student and the best way to know if your student has office hours. Please make sure you complete the BESS surveys which will give us information that support our Social Emotional and Mental Health initiatives. The link is below. Middle School parents, please remind your students to wear their uniforms. Students without uniform will earn a lunch detention and will have to turn in their phones in exchange for a Summit shirt for the day. High School Parents, please have conversations with your student about attendance, we are starting to see students missing lots of school time which will impact their grades and credit completion towards graduation. |
