One of my favorite Summitview events is Mrs. Slick's Veteran's Day program. We are all disappointed that we couldn't have that event this year. Please enjoy these pictures of our learners expressing their gratitude to the many veterans as well as active duty service men and women who are part of our school community. We are grateful for your service to our country and our community! https://5il.co/myzt

A few announcements and reminders as we enter Week 11! *Please have your child wear PATRIOTIC COLORS tomorrow, Tuesday, 11/10, in honor of Veteran's Day this Friday. Our Summitview family includes many veterans and active-duty service members. We are so thankful for your service! *This Friday, November 13, will be our second Student Council spirit day this month. It is Sports Day! *Reminders for those who drop their child off via car in the morning: Please pull all the way up, past the flag pole to the tree by the end of the building, when dropping off your child. Doing so allows several cars to unload at the same time. Adults should remain in their cars in order to keep traffic moving. If your child needs assistance with his/her car seat or seat belt, please park in the side parking lot and walk your child to the building. *There is no school for learners on Wednesday, November 11 in remembrance of Veteran's Day. *Wednesday, November 25 is a Remote Learning Day. Learners will have 1/2 day of work to complete in their Google Classrooms. *There will be no school for learners Thursday, November 26 through Tuesday, December 1 for Thanksgiving Break.

A note from the cafeteria - since the learners will have some extra treats on Friday, October 30, next week's ice cream day will be WEDNESDAY, 10/28. If your learner is buying ice cream, please either put the money on his/her account through MySchoolBucks or send the $1 in an envelope labeled with your child's first and last name, grade, and student ID number.

Reminder that our spirit days for Project TEAM kickoff and Red Ribbon Week continue tomorrow, 10/23 through 10/30. Follow this link for the schedule - https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/952855/Summitview_Spirit_Days_October__2020_.pdf We will have fall parties on Friday, 10/30. Our COVID-19 reopening safety protocol prevents volunteers from assisting in the building during parties. However we are looking for support from our families to provide donations for the parties. At this time about half of the items are signed up for but we are still looking for volunteers to bring other items. Please follow the link below to view the remaining items needed and to sign up (most sign ups are less than $5 each). Small items can be sent to school with your child; larger items should be dropped off. We would like everything to be at school by Monday, October 26 so that we can purchase additional items and begin sorting everything by classroom.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040a4ea5aa2babfe3-svfall As we wrap up our 8th week in the building, I thank all of you for your continued support. Stay #BoroStrong!
