IB Learners show empathy, compassion and respect towards the needs and feelings of others. They have
a personal commitment to service, and act to make a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment.

IB students tell us they bring this commitment to community and others to their activities and leadership roles at university and carry it throughout their lives.

Mr. Yelinek's kids are busy designing with CAD again. This time? Gingerbread house designs! Check out these cool designs by Kevin LH (above) and Alyssa A (below)

Summerour Middle School opened a small restaurant one night this week for students who wanted to spend 100 earned Blue Bucks to feed their family a holiday meal. We call it "The Bridge." It was a rousing success. Enjoy some pictures from that night below.

Students cannot be dropped off up front at the bus lanes in the morning!

All parent drop off and pick up are handled from the separate car rider lane in the rear of the building, Why? Buses move in and out from before 8 am to after 10 am. For safety, we cannot have our students crossing the three lanes in front of the buses.

Do not drop your child off in front of the building. They would have to walk around the building to the rear to get in anyway, so just drop them off there.

Students who are car riders must be picked up in the rear of the building. Students are not allowed to walk to a parent's car parked anywhere else on campus, or anywhere off campus. Students who are being taken home by car, must be picked up from the car rider lane.

*Note: please pull all the way to the front of the lane for pickup, to keep things moving. Do not stop at the first door you come to

Cell phones are not allowed during the school day at Summerour.

• No phones in classrooms
  
• No phones in hallways
  
• No phones in restrooms
  

Phones should be left at home or turned off and left in backpacks/book bags all day long.

Summerour is still hosting weekly Covid surveillance testing on Thursday afternoons. If you'd like to sign your child up, use this form to sign up.
