Late Start Wednesday, February 14th
Each month The Summit will have a 9:30 a.m. late start Wednesday morning. During these late start mornings, Summit faculty and staff will continue to devote time to curriculum review and finalizing the self-study portion of our re-accreditation process through
ISACS.
The next late start day is Wednesday, February 14. Fun Zone will maintain the normal starting time of 7:30 a.m. and will be extended to 9:15 a.m., at which time students will join their teachers to begin their daily class routines. The official start time for the school day is 9:30 a.m. You are encouraged to drop off your child(ren) between 9:15-9:30 a.m. just prior to the start of classes. However, families who need to use Fun Zone from 8:30-9:15 a.m. may do so at no cost.

How The Raven Fund is Used and Why it Matters
The Summit, like other independent schools, must raise funds every year to help meet operating costs, since tuition alone never covers the full cost of an independent school education. Through this support, The Summit is able to:
- Attract and retain the most talented faculty
- Provide classroom and learning resources to afford students best-practice learning opportunities
- Maintain an attractive, welcoming, and safe environment
- Enhance art, music, physical education, Spanish language, and sports programs
Moving Towards Our Goals
Goal: $40,000
Total Pledged/Received to Date:
$14,637.48
All that's left: $25,362.52
Goal: 100% Family Participation
Participation to Date:
16%
