Parent Summersill Scoop
September 16, 2023
We ended our week with more Eagles receiving Positive Office Referrals. Please remind your child to use the character trait for September, Respect. Our Habits of Mind for September are Persistence and Managing Impulsivity.
Do you want to assist in making decisions about your child's experience at Summersill? Please join our Strategic Planning Team meeting on Monday, September 18 at 3:45 in the Media Center.
We are excited to have our second volunteer training on Tuesday, September 19. The times are 8:45, 12:00 and 3:45. We love volunteers, so we hope you will attend.
Wednesday, September 20 is Early Release Professional Day. Students will be dismissed at 12:15 for walkers/car riders and 12:30 for bus riders.
Smile, it's Picture Day on Friday, September 22. Information about Picture Day was sent home in your child's book bag.
We have started collecting non-perishable foods to support our CHEW program. The class that brings in the most items will win a Popsicle party!
The latest time that you can check out your child is 2:40pm. As a reminder, we do not accept any transportation changes over the phone.
Please read the S'more newsletter attached or go on our school web page or Facebook to learn more about school events.
We look forward to another successful week with our Eagles!

Looking for Before/After School Care?
Please fill out the car rider link if you are planning to drop off and/or pick up your child.
New Onslow County Policy:
For the safety of our students, no vehicles are to be on campus more that 30 minutes prior to dismissal. Dismissal starts at 3:15; therefore, cars should not be parked for dismissal prior to 2:45. Please drive slowly when arriving on campus. There will be five orange cones placed for each car to stop, so students can be let out by a staff member. You will pull forward and a staff member will load your child. Staff members will not buckle your child in their seat; however, they will open the car door for them.
Edulog's Bus Transportation
If you have questions regarding buses (bus number, bus stop location, pickup/drop off time) please use the Edulog Parent App on your Smartphone. You will need your child's Powerschool number in order to set up an account and access the bus information. Your child's teacher will have your child's Powerschool number at Orientation.
