a personal commitment to service, and act to make a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment.

• Parents must accompany their child to the event
• Current & future PTA members only
• $10 per skater (pay at the door)

OUR PTA President, Mr. Lester Moultrie, invites you to celebrate and skate with our incredible students! This is our first PTA event with OUR new President. It's about to go down!

Students cannot be dropped off up front at the bus lanes in the morning!

All parent drop off and pick up are handled from the separate car rider lane in the rear of the building, Why? Buses move in and out from before 8 am to after 10 am. For safety, we cannot have our students crossing the three lanes in front of the buses.

Do not drop your child off in front of the building. They would have to walk around the building to the rear to get in anyway, so just drop them off there.

Students who are car riders must be picked up in the rear of the building. Students are not allowed to walk to a parent's car parked anywhere else on campus, or anywhere off campus. Students who are being taken home by car, must be picked up from the car rider lane.

*Note: please pull all the way to the front of the lane for pickup, to keep things moving. Do not stop at the first door you come to

Cell phones are not allowed during the school day at Summerour.

• No phones in classrooms
  
• No phones in hallways
  
• No phones in restrooms
  

Phones should be left at home or turned off and left in backpacks/book bags all day long.

Summerour is still hosting weekly Covid surveillance testing on Thursday afternoons. If you'd like to sign your child up, use this form to sign up.

Our Parent Center is located on our first floor, so it's easy to get to. Come check in at the front office, then use the Parent Center to volunteer, check-out resources, and get engaged!
