Summit High School

Dear SHS Families,

Since the fall athletic seasons have concluded for all Summit High School sports, all students will return to PE from PE Independent Study Hall. The application for Winter PE Independent Study Hall will be emailed to all students next week.

Please encourage your student to participate in the hallway decorating that will take place on Tuesday, November 26th. Students who are interested in helping to decorate the hallway should reach out to their class advisor or a class officer for more details.

It's a great day to be a Hilltopper!

Report cards for the first marking period are available on the parent/student Genesis portals. To view the report card, log into the portal, click "Grading" on the left side of the screen.

Did you know that you can view your student's check-ins on Genesis? Students scan into the bathrooms, library, help centers, counseling office, and nurse's office when they visit these locations during the school day. You can view these check-ins in Genesis. Log into your Genesis account, and click check-ins on the left side of the screen. Please discuss with your student any excessive time out of class.

You can also view how many times your student did not have their ID badge with them in school. Please help ensure that your student has their ID badge with them each morning.

From the English Department...

Randi Zucker from 3GNY spoke to Ms. Caroline Guinee's English 1 class. They are currently reading the graphic novel and Holocaust memoir Maus. "3GNY is an educational organization founded by the grandchildren of survivors that preserves the legacies and the lessons of the Holocaust." Ms. Zucker shared the story of her own grandparents' survival during the Holocaust.

Appointments must be made in advance to see teachers, counselors, administrators, and other staff. Please be prepared to announce your name and purpose in order to be granted access into the building.

When a visitor arrives at the school, they will be asked to provide identification, such as a driver's license or state-issued ID card. If the visitor does not have any means of identification on them, they will be asked to input their first name, last name, and date of birth into our visitor management system. The identification is then scanned into the system, and the visitor's information is checked against a database to ensure they are not on any prohibited lists. Once the visitor's information has been verified, a temporary badge will be printed and provided to them by the school security officer or school secretary. This badge must be worn at all times while the visitor is on school grounds and will be collected upon their departure. All visitors to the building must be escorted by a staff member at all time.

In the event an emergency visit is necessary, please call the school’s main office ahead of your arrival so we are prepared to accommodate your needs.

Drop-off items (lunch, instrument, Chromebook, etc.) may be dropped off in the bin outside the main entrance vestibule. We will not inform students when items have been dropped off for them.

Our academic help centers are available each period of the day. Please encourage your student to visit the academic help centers during their study hall period.

Construction continued this past week on the interiors of the chorus room, the drama room, and the library. The work on the outside of the library has also progressed with the installation of most windows and completion of the stone work.
