From the Head of School...
Dear Summit Community,
This is such an exciting week. We had a tortoise gender reveal on Wednesday, Friday is our middle school Halloween Dance, and Saturday is our Summit School Preschool Open House and Trunk or Treat. Along with all of those great community events, we are wrapping up our 2021 Fall Fundraiser.
If you have been on campus recently, you likely have noticed some updates to our facility that include bright new signage, fresh paint, and new safety pads on the playground. We will continue to update and brighten our campus as the year goes on. New picnic tables and umbrellas are on the way.
As we make these facility updates, we are also heavily focused on maintaining and improving our academic offerings, resources, and supports. As I mentioned earlier this year, we will be a one-to-one technology school in the fall. In addition, we are updating our classroom technology resources, our use of academic data, our support for struggling and excelling students, and our academic opportunities.
If you have not yet donated to our Fall Fundraiser, and you are willing to offer extra financial support to the amazing things that Summit School has to offer, please donate now. You can scan the QR code above, drop off a payment at school, or click below to donate via PayPal.
Thank you for all you do!
Sincerely,
Dr. Stephanie Nardi
Head of School

Dadurday Reminder
A reminder that we have a Dadurday planned for Saturday, October 30th from 7am to 11am.
If you can spare a few hours, please join us. We are hoping to assemble some new picnic tables, spread some rubber mulch in the Elementary playground, and repair a few items.
Please bring a water bottle with you and if you have a wheel barrow, metal rake, drill. socket set, and a 1-1/2" inch wrench please bring them with you.
This is a great opportunity for middle school students to get service hours.
See you Saturday!!

Referral Credits
Our families are Summit’s best advocates and we appreciate when you share your Summit story with family and friends. We ask for your help in continuing to spread the word about Summit School!
In addition to helping create a thriving community of learners, Summit School has temporarily increased the Referral Credit from $500 to $1,000 as a credit toward your tuition liability for each newly enrolled student of a new family. This temporary increased referral credit amount is for new students (not applicable for siblings of current students or for returning students) that enroll between April 12, 2021 and March 11, 2022. Each credit is applied to your FACTS tuition account after the new family makes two tuition payments for the new student(s). During these stated dates there are no limits to the number of referral credits you may earn by supporting our school! Please contact Summit Admissions or Business Office if you have any questions regarding the family referral program.
Note: Referral credits of $600 or more require the completing of a W-9 form claiming the income. Referral credits are not applicable for voting members of the Board of Trustees.
