Parent Summersill Scoop
December 9, 2023
We are excited for this last week of school before we are home for the holidays. We hope you enjoy celebrating and resting with your family and friends.
The PTO Christmas Store opens on Monday, December 11. Students will have the opportunity to shop for their families during their library time this week. There may also be time in the morning and afternoons for students to shop if they do not have the opportunity during their scheduled time. You can put money on the PTO CashApp, write a check to the Summersill PTO or send cash. Parents, if you are available to volunteer at the PTO Christmas Store the week of December 11-15, please click on this link https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/8050948A8A629A3FB6-46327312-christmas

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.
