Summit Virtual Academy
Weekly Update - Week of April 03, 2023
Spring Break Edition
Good afternoon, Blackhawks, and Happy Spring Break Friday! I would like to highlight two important pieces to this week's newsletter regarding 2023/2024 Summit Virtual Academy applications and state mandated Spring testing. This information has been shared, but it is on important topics that are fast approaching. Be sure to read below for important details regarding these two subjects. I hope this coming week of Spring Break allows you time to make memories with friends, families, and loved ones. While students are in no way expected to work on school work over Spring Break, you do continue to have access to materials should you chose to do so. April 14 marks the official half way point in the semester. At this time, students should be 50% complete with their classes and earning a passing grade. Be safe, and read on!
Have a great weekend, and Go Blackhawks!

Reminder of Expectations
- Expect your student to work for roughly 45-60 minutes per day, per course
- By now, you should have been reached out to by a counselor regarding your course progress. These will happen once a week. It is extremely important that you respond to communication. Please note that the student needs to respond and be in communication, not just the parent(s).
- Your main point of contact for content specific questions is your course instructor. If you need help doing so, don't hesitate to reach out to us at 248-627-1820.
