Winter Greetings
I hope that this communication finds everyone well. It has been an exciting week between having a snow day, a delayed opening, and an early dismissal. I am attaching my slide show from yesterday's Principal's Coffee for those who could not attend. Please take the time to review it, as we had several students and teachers present to discuss our past and future school programming initiatives. Please see the link to my presentation.

Spring Athletics
Please follow the steps below in order to be cleared to participate on the first day of try-outs or practice.
ALL FORMS ARE DUE BY 3/1/2024. No late submissions will be accepted.
There is paperwork due for everyone regardless of whether or not you have participated in a prior season.
If you are unable to get an appointment with your doctor, many urgent care facilities or CVS Minute Clinic will perform a physical and complete the paperwork for a fee.
All forms can be found in the parent portal in Genesis under “Spring Sports LCJSMS”
If you are not sure what you need to hand in please check the athletics tab in the parent portal to check your child’s “sports eligibility” or contact the nurse (908) 273-1190
The forms will be reviewed by the school nurse then sent to the district physician for final clearance. Please note it can take up to 2 weeks for forms to be processed once received and reviewed by the nurse.
Ms. McDonald will create a list of every student that is cleared to participate and share this with the coaches. NO student can begin participating in any sport until their name is on the list.
Please scan forms to msathleticforms@summit.k12.nj.us
