Happy January Summitt Community,
Happy New Year Summitt Families! I can not believe how quickly the first semester has flown by. I continue to be so thankful and grateful to lead this amazing community. I have loved every bit of watching our students learn and grow socially, academically and emotionally. I have been so impressed with the tenacity and growth that students have exhibited.
I spent a lot of quality time with my family these last two weeks! Beckett is going to be 7 this spring, Jett will be turning 4 in February and baby girl is going to be 2 year old soon! She is growing WAY too fast. My oldest just lost his two front teeth, so we are going into 2025 with a new look! It was a real gift to be able to spend quality time with my kids and family these last two weeks.
Cold temperatures have arrived. Here is a link to our AISD weather guidelines. Please ensure your student layers and dresses appropriately for cold temperatures. Make sure coats and jackets are labeled with your child's name. We don't want to see our lost and found pile back up. If your child is in need of a warm jacket please reach out to our counselors for support.

Attendance Matters:
It is critical that students arrive to school on time by 7:40am. The bell rings at 7:40am. We have morning assembly at 7:30am to encourage families and students to arrive to school at that time, so students can have a soft start to the day and settle in. We have a large number of students arriving after the tardy bell each morning. Please set alarm clocks earlier if needed to get to school on time. It helps everyone to have a smooth start to the school day. Our campus goal is to achieve 97% attendance and we are averaging around 95%!
I want to personally wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year. I look forward to celebrating our Lunar New Year next month!
