From the Head of School...
Dear Summit Community,
It was wonderful to see so many families at our wagon parade. There is so much to say about how amazing that event was. Thank you for your support and I hope you are able to join us for the many more Summit Community events coming this year.
Please watch for fall fundraiser information. Our annual fundraiser begins on October 1 with a goal of $90,000 and celebrates 5 Amazing Things Our Donors Make Possible. Without your support, Summit isn't possible.
To thank you for your support, Summit School will draw five winners from our donors to win a pair of *Disneyland passes. In addition, as a special thank you for our top donor, I have donated a bottle of Brunello Di Montalcino from the Tenute Silvio Nardi winery in Sienna, Italy. We encourage every family to do what they can to be amazing.
Thank you for all you do!
Sincerely,
Dr. Stephanie Nardi
Head of School

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.
