Parent Summersill Scoop

Welcome back Eagles!!! We hope that all of our staff and students are excited to finish out the school year strong and make the 2025 the best year yet! Our custodians have worked hard over break to get the classrooms, hallways and the outside of the school looking great!

Our PTO raised $1,807.55 at the Christmas store and our National Elementary Honor Society raised $322 for their service project to purchase caps and gowns for seniors at White Oak High School. We appreciate your contributions to these fundraisers.

iReady reading and math diagnostics will start on Monday, January 6. Students should do their best, so that when they begin their pathway, the lessons are on their level.

Attendance is very important to your child's success. Please have your child arrive on time and stay until dismissal at 3:15. If your child is absent, we do require a doctor's note or an absence note explaining why your child was not present at school.

Cici's Pizza Night is Tuesday, January 7. 10% of the proceeds goes back to Summersill and the class with the most attendance will receive a FREE pizza party!

There will be a School Improvement Meeting on Wednesday, January 15 at 3:45pm in the media center. All parents are welcome to attend.

Monday, January 20 is a holiday, Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, so there will be no school for teachers or students.

Tuesday, January 21 and Wednesday, January 22 are teacher workdays, so there will be no school for students.

Report cards will go home on Wednesday, January 29, so please check for your child's envelop and return it back to your child's teacher signed.
