Summit School Newsletter

Dear Summit School Families,

I trust this newsletter finds you well. As we embark on a new academic year filled with promise and excitement, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your continued trust and support in making Summit School a thriving educational community.

The safety of our students and families remains our utmost priority, and in this regard, I would like to draw your attention to our pick up and drop off procedures. We have observed a few areas that require attention to ensure the well-being of all members of our school community.

1. Crossing in Front of Cars: It has come to our attention that some families are crossing in front of cars during drop off and pick up times. We kindly request your cooperation in refraining from crossing in front of vehicles, as this can pose significant safety risks. Instead, please make use of designated crosswalks and pedestrian pathways to ensure the safety of everyone on our campus.

2. Pick Up for Families with Multiple Grade Levels: We understand that families with children in multiple grade levels may experience some confusion during the pick-up process. Please review the information in the attached document for clarification.

To facilitate a smooth drop off and pick up for your family, I encourage you to carefully review the "Pick Up and Drop Off Procedures" document. Your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these procedures will greatly contribute to a safer and more efficient traffic flow on our campus.

The collective effort of our Summit School community in upholding these procedures will undoubtedly create a safer environment for our students and families. Let's work together to ensure that every student's journey to and from school is a secure and positive experience.

Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to our dedicated Summit School team.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the well-being of our students and for your partnership in fostering a safe and thriving learning environment. Your involvement truly makes a difference.

Wishing you all a continued wonderful start to the new academic year.

Warm regards,

Dr. Nardi

My name is Jenna Venezia and I’m excited to join the Summit family! I grew up in Ahwatukee where I attended Desert Vista. I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Special Education and a Master’s degree in Special Education: Severe and Profound Disabilities. I have taught in the Flagstaff and Deer Valley School Districts. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy hiking, swimming, and playing with my dog, Murray. I look forward to meeting everyone, thank you for your warm welcome!
