Thank you to all the Summit Staff and Jerome Community Members who spent valuable time and energy making a very memorable STEAM NIGHT for SUMMIT students and their families!

Summit’s 4th and 5th graders were challenged to create a device that could keep a raw egg safe when dropped from a fire truck and tonight, we tested it! If their eggs survived the drop they got to crack them on their science teacher’s head!! Thank you to our science team of teachers and staff for organizing the EGG DROP that is soon becoming a yearly SUMMIT tradition: Mrs. Dolan, Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Pryor, Mrs. Gonzalez, Mrs. Myers, Mr. L Horton, Mrs. Bateman, Mr. Garcia, Mrs. Hosburg, Mrs. Osterberg, & Mrs. Hess! And, to our fabulous Jerome Fire Department members for their time, energy, and support in making our EGG DROP fun & exciting!

Thank you to the Jerome City Fire Department for bringing the truck and dropping the eggs!

Our student DROP OFF/PICK UP (along the side walk west of the front doors) is the same as last year!

Thank you, Parents, for keeping kiddos safe by dropping them off/picking them up next to the sidewalk in the Student Drop Off/Pick Up area (just west of the front doors of the building).

In the morning, once your kiddo is dropped off along the sidewalk, you can pull out to the second lane to leave if you would like.

ALSO, during busier times in the morning, there is a second lane after you enter the parking lot you can choose to drive down and drop your student off in the middle of the lot. But please remind your kiddo to walk along the "caution tape" to the Para in BRIGHT GREEN, to walk them across the parking lot.

**If your student arrives after the bell at 8:15 am, please drop your student off at the front doors!

Thank you, again! Your support is so appreciated! We look forward to a WONDERFUL school year and an opportunity to serve your student!

For more information on your student's ISAT scores, please download the following documents! They will be sent home with your student as well!

At Summit, students have the opportunity to EARN Positive Behavior Activities throughout the year for having positive school behavior! Positive Behavior activities occur quarterly with our first scheduled in October! Students may earn the Positive Behavior activity by putting forth good effort in class and having no pink slips or visits to the ReFresh room during the period leading up to the quarterly Positive Behavior Activity! This is one way Summit recognizes students for their POSITIVE actions!

MAY 10th will be our FOURTH and final Positive Behavior Activity! Students who earned the Positive Behavior Activity for behavior from April 4th-May 10th (no pink slips or ReFresh Room visits and good effort in all classes) will have the opportunity to participate! We will have FUN IN THE SUN!

Summit recently hosted an all school assembly called NED’s Mindset Mission. We hope your student was encouraged by the show which taught about having a positive Mindset for learning and life!

Mindset Mission yoyos are still available for purchase to support the free show and message. If your student has already purchased a yoyo, here is an important link to help them get off to a good start with proper string length adjustment, click here.

Additionally, here are a couple of our favorite follow up home resources from the Mindset Mission website. You may want to use these with your child as they are designed to go hand in hand with the program.

Parent Encouragement Notes

If you'd like additional resources, they are available here.

And don’t forget to ask your student what they learned in the show about having a growth mindset from YET the Yeti, Captain Kindly and during NED’s visit on the spaceship!

ZONES teaches students scaffolded skills toward developing a metacognitive pathway to build awareness of their feelings/internal state and utilize a variety of tools and strategies for regulation, prosocial skills, self-care, and overall wellness. We will be exploring tools and strategies over the next 6 weeks to support positive mental health and skill development for all.

Please keep the office informed of any address, telephone or email change for anyone on your child's contact list. It is very important that we are able to contact someone in case of an emergency.

If your child is sick, running a temperature, please keep your child and home and let the Summit office know that they will not be in school. You can either call 208-324-3396 and talk to one of our secretaries, leave a message or email Mrs. Brewer @ tina.brewer@jeromeschools.org.
