Dear Summerside Families, 

The force is STRONG at Summerside!!!  This past week was filled with SO MUCH appreciation for our incredible PTO, led by Mrs. Shebesta, who provided so many opportunities to honor and celebrate the hard work that our AMAZING teachers and staff put forth every day to make a difference in your child's life. Thank you to all who participated through the thoughtful cards and sentiments of gratitude, participating in the spirit days, and with all of the treats and special touches our PTO provided all week long. We believe it takes a village and as you look through pictures of our celebrations from this past week, we hope you are as proud of our Summerside community as we are every day, in every way!

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Courtney & Ms. Lowe

P.S. Be sure to keep scrolling down as we will continue to add district and community opportunities that have tight timelines for application.  Also, thank you to all who have already registered for the new school year - we are almost half-way registered!

Follow-up from "Special Request from Superintendent Adams" Email

Last week, you received an email from Superintendent Adams inviting you to participate in a survey. If you completed the survey, thank you! This information will be very important to principals and the District Leadership Team in our summer meetings.

There were actually three different surveys and each parent or family member randomly received one based on three different topics. Below are the links to all three surveys. If you have not had a chance to respond, we encourage you to pick one (or more) and share your thoughts. If you did respond to a survey, here is an opportunity to share your thoughts on another. Each survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

• Student Safety, Wellbeing, and Engagement - https://tinyurl.com/5n8bfckb

• Student Pathways & Performance - https://tinyurl.com/3txjhrth

• Modern Student-Centered Learning Design - https://tinyurl.com/4r5yzznd 

(NOTE: Each survey begins with the same opening video. However, the  questions following the video are different depending on the topic of the survey. If you have already completed the survey for a particular topic, a message will pop up that says, "You've already taken this survey.")

Thank you for your time and effort to help our school and the entire West Clermont community!
