Our feeder elementary schools will be visiting Summerour in April. If you've got younger students in 5th grade, here's when they'll come to see us:

• Beaver Ridge Elementary School - April 11
• Norcross Elementary School - April 12
• Baldwin Elementary School - April 13

They act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness, justice and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups and communities. They take responsibility for their own actions and the consequences that accompany them.

IB students are infused with the academic integrity that is a fundamental value of universities and colleges.

Cell phones are not allowed during the school day at Summerour.

• No phones in classrooms
  
• No phones in hallways
  
• No phones in restrooms
  

Phones should be left at home or turned off and left in backpacks/book bags all day long.

Summerour is still hosting weekly Covid surveillance testing on Thursday afternoons. If you'd like to sign your child up, use this form to sign up.

Our Parent Center is located on our first floor, so it's easy to get to. Come check in at the front office, then use the Parent Center to volunteer, check-out resources, and get engaged!
