Meet the Teacher, School Supply Lists, Back to School Night and More…
Meet the Teacher Morning – Friday August 16th 7:30am-9:30am (new time!)
Find out your student’s teacher and classroom, say “hi!”, and drop off school supplies. Please note the new time in the morning. If you and your child are unable to attend Friday mornings MTT, you can call the school anytime after 9:30 am on Friday Aug 16th to ask who your student’s teacher will be. School supplies can be brought the first day of school. Back to School Night has been moved up to the 2nd week of school so parents/guardians can learn all about their student’s class much sooner this year!
Back to School Night (Evening) – Wednesday August 28th (PK-2/ 3-5 specific times TBD)
Parents and guardians are invited up to the school to hear from their student’s teacher(s), talk to Special Areas teachers, purchase Birthday Book Club memberships, sign up to volunteer, and browse clubs and after school activities booths available to their students.

Need photographers for next year
Are
you savvy on social media? Do you like taking pictures of your kids
(and friends’ kids) at events? The Communications team needs you! We are
looking for a team of 2-3 people to take pictures at Summitt events
starting next school year. Your duties include attending major Summitt
events, posting pictures to our Facebook page and also uploading it to
our yearbook site. For more info, email [email protected]
Need volunteers to update website
We need to update info on the Summitt website (summitteagles.org)
and need a few people to look through it and suggest the updates. We
have a lot of pages with a wealth of info, but some of it is outdated.
This is a good project to do over the summer. You do not need to know
how to design or build a website. We will have people who can make those
changes on the site if you let them know what is needed. For info,
email [email protected]
Searching for Appreciation Team Sponsors…
Have
you noticed the shout outs in the newsletter to Platinum Balloon Decor?
Your business could be mentioned next school year! We’re looking for
anything that will brighten the day for our hardworking staff: giftcards
(either as a gift for the staff/teachers or for the Appreciation Team
to use to purchase items), flowers/plants, decor, food/drinks, trinkets,
supplies, poster printing, etc. If you own or work for a business that
is interested in supplying a specific appreciation week (or a whole
semester—or an entire school year!), please reach out to the Summitt
Appreciation Team ([email protected]).
…and Appreciation Team Members
The
Appreciation Team is looking for people to plan fun themes for
appreciation weeks, create posters, decorate, put together goody
bags/baskets, and streamline the “process of appreciation.” Whether
you’re someone who loves any excuse to look at Pinterest, a person who
has an eye for decorating, or someone who can make processes more
efficient, we would love to have you! Please reach out:
