Dear Summerside Eagle Families,

CONGRATULATIONS, Summerside Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) team! See below for information about an earned Ohio state award that our team applied for in the spring to recognize and honor all of the hard work we are intentional about in how we work to foster a calm, consistent, and caring approach in a safe and welcoming environment every day, in every way at Summerside!

SMILES coming to Summerside! It is not too late to sign up to have your child's teeth cleaned at Summerside next week. See the flyer below, complete the forms by Monday, and we will get them on the schedule to have their teeth cleaned and evaluated during the school day by the Health Source of Ohio Mobile Dentist team. We are so fortunate to have this support in our system and quite a few families are already signed up to shine!

We had an excellent turn-out at our kindergarten meet the teacher night and quite a few people joined us for our PTO meeting too! Our time together always leads to greater connections and opportunities to strengthen our village and commitment to excellence for every child! During our meeting, a parent shared that an update on our visitor and volunteer protocols might help all know how we can continue to come together and understand what to expect if you ever need to come to the school during school hours. Thank you for this feedback and guidance as we always welcome and appreciate all perspectives to help us continue to RISE together!

As noted in our student/parent handbook linked above, visitors and volunteers are able to enter the school through our main entrances and register at the office in accordance with the district protocols. These are scheduled visits/volunteer opportunities with your child's teacher or another staff member prior to your arrival. If you ever need to talk with your child or a staff member during the school day or come to the building during school hours, we will start by welcoming you through our intercom system so that we can understand how to help make the necessary and appropriate accommodations while continuing to maintain a safe learning environment for all students and staff within the building. This might mean the adult(s) will need to remain outside or in our front door vestibule versus in our main office, depending on the need and circumstances. You are also able to sign your child out to eat lunch with them at our 2021 - 22 PTO purchased, Turkey-Trot and Brantner PTO (the red one represents the Cardinals:) funded tables!! There are three new beautiful tables out front that are perfect for an afternoon lunch with your child if you decide you would like to periodically spend time with them during their school day. Lunch times and insight are noted in the above-linked Activity Calendar button.

Here is additional information about becoming a volunteer in any of our West Clermont schools and we certainly welcome your partnership and involvement in your child's education!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Courtney & Ms. Lowe
