Principal's Message
Dear Loma and CT Families-
My top 3 highlights from last week:
cheering on the cheetahs at the Cross County Meet. Amazing turn out as we hosted more than 600 athletes
smiling staff members as they saw the potluck lunch coordinated by HSC during parent/teacher conference week
excited Loma students exploring the newly opened library
Reminder that Monday, October 3 is a Staff Development Day--no school for students.
Looking forward to seeing many of you at the Gala this Saturday
Thanks for your partnership
Amy Ramsay
Principal

CT WRESTLING SEASON IS STARTING!
NO Summit Store On Fridays
Parents and Students-
The Summit Store has notified the district that effective today, NO students are allowed to be at the store unsupervised (without a parent), especially on Fridays.
The store will revisit this decision in December. In the meantime, please talk with your child (and their friends) about what the expected behavior is when interacting with summit store staff and patrons.
Thanks for your partnership.
Please remind your child that they MUST cross using the bridge and not to run across Summit Road.

We encourage you to consider using our school buses to transport your child to and from school to reduce the campus traffic and increase our parking lot safety. Bus pass information is available in both school offices.

We do have some classrooms with students who have life threatening allergies to other nuts. If your child has peers in their classroom with allergies to other nuts, your child’s teacher will inform you that your child’s classroom is a nut free space.
