On Nov. 26th, students created a float to parade around Summit Elementary! See the photos below of a few examples.

The floats that are created go along with their current PBL (Problem Based Learning), or other learning that is occuring in the classroom. Students used the design process to create these floats, and are always engaging in high-quality, engaging, STEM Education.

We have outdoor recess if the windchill (at Summit) is 26 degrees or above. We will only have indoor recess if the windchill is below that temperature, if it is currently raining, or if existing snow is piled on the playground.

Please plan on your student being outdoors for at least 30 minutes during the school day. Hats and gloves with a winter coat should be sent or left at school. Please communicate with your child's teacher if you would like the hats/gloves to be left at the building.

Our students work hard to be Summit SPARKS! We often talk to our students about how they "SPARK" throughout the building. SPARK stands for, Safe, Patient, Accepting, Responsible, and Kind. Being a Summit SPARK means they display these characteristics everywhere they are, and no matter who is watching.

Each month, we celebrate our students in our SPARK morning meeting, for those who display a characteristic of SPARK. If your child is selected, your child's teacher will be in contact with you, and we hope you will attend!

Each month, students can also earn an incentive for following SPARK expectations throughout the entire month! Top students are invited to the SPARK incentives such as a movie, dance party, and more!

How can you partner with us?

Ask your student:

• How did you SPARK today?
• How were you helpful today?
• How can you be a friend to someone tomorrow?
• Model being Safe, Patient, Accepting, Responsible, and Kind to your child, and talk about what it looked like, and how it felt.

Students visit the wetlands and our outdoor garden on a regular basis. Having tennis shoes on is not only a safety issue, but it allows your child to participate fully in our STEM Curriculum. Please ensure your child has closed-toed shoes on each day. This is also important for our Physical Education classes!

When your child is going to miss school, please email maggie.lawson@reyn.org to let the school know that your child will be absent that day. This must be done every time your child misses school.
