From the Head of School...
Dear Summit Community,
I am thrilled to share exciting news with you! Beginning in the 2024-25 academic year, we are expanding our Sabrecat athletics offerings to include our students in kindergarten through third grade. Introducing the Junior Sabrecats program!
The Junior Sabrecats program will provide a fantastic opportunity for our young learners to engage in co-ed basketball and co-ed flag football right here on campus. Our focus will be on building strong fundamentals while fostering teamwork and sportsmanship.
This initiative aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing a well-rounded education that nurtures both the minds and bodies of our students. By starting at a young age, we aim to instill valuable skills and habits that will benefit them for years to come.
More details about the Junior Sabrecats program, including registration information and schedules, will be released early next school year. We can't wait to see our K-3 students embrace this opportunity and showcase their talent and enthusiasm on the court and field.
Thank you for your continued support as we strive to enhance the student experience and enrich our Summit community. A special thank you goes out to the Community Advisory Committee of volunteers, our Athletic Committee, and Mr. Kroupa for making this happen. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,
Dr. Stephanie Nardi
Head of School

General Safety Guidelines for Drop-off and Pick-up

Guardians and visitors must park in designated lined parking spaces only.
Do not park in such a way to hinder the flow of traffic or jeopardize the safety of children.
Parking is not allowed along the red curbs.
Do not park in the designated spaces purchased by guardians at the annual Summit School Auction.
State law prohibits neglect and endangerment of children. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle at any time, and always use car seats and seat belts.
Students cannot be dropped off in the parking lots.
Pedestrians are not permitted to cut through the carline.
Please do not try to meet with teachers while they are supervising carline.
There is no use of wireless phones (or other digital devices) while in the carline.
At dismissal, please do not arrive earlier than 15 minutes before your child’s dismissal, time as this blocks our fire lane and inhibits emergency vehicles from entering our facility.
