Most of you know the importance of our annua l Mountaintop Breakfast , but for those who are new to Summit, the event serves a two-fold purpose:

  • First, it's a way to educate the community on the challenges faced by children with learning differences and what Summit Academy does to help them reach their fullest potential.
  • Secondly, it is our most important fundraising event, bringing in funds to help support our financial aid program for students who could not otherwise afford to attend Summit as well as helping to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating our students.

An electronic version of the invitation is available here if you would like to forward it to friends and family. We encourage everyone to attend - it is a great way for our new families to see what a difference Summit Academy makes for our families and our community as well as an outlet to share our message and mission with others.

Contact Kelly Jarboe via email or 244- 7813 or visit our website f or more information on the breakfast and how you can be involved. 
Picture retake/makeup day
Picture packages went home in backpacks last week. If your student missed picture day or you would like their portrait retaken, our photographer will be back to take their picture this Thursday, November 2 . This will be a FREE DRESS DAY for students having their portraits taken.

  • NEW STUDENTS and those who were absent on picture day will receive picture order forms prior to picture day. Please return them on or before November 2.
  • IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH YOUR PORTRAITS and would like a retake, please return your complete portrait package on or before November 2 and notify your student's homeroom teacher. The portrait package will be turned in to the photographer when their picture is taken. There are no additional costs for retakes.

If you have any questions regarding school pictures please contact Chevonne at cdumke@summit-academy.org or reply to this email.
