Student/Parent/Teacher Fall Conferences
|
|
Fall Conferences in the High School are scheduled for Thursday, October 24 from 3:30-6:00 for Seniors, and Friday from 8:00-12:00 for Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors.
As a reminder, in high school, students are felt to be an extremely important part of the conference team, and they are required to attend their conferences. At the STP Conference, the high school teachers will meet together with the student and the parent to learn about their progress report, school to work opportunities and any questions they may have.
Please click on "Time to Learn" above and sign up for your conference slot today!

With the time and talent of our student and parent volunteers, Mr. B's Coffee Shop is slowly, but surely moving forward. Over the past few weeks, walls have been painted, flooring has been worked on and the students have finished creating the donor appreciation signs to hang on the walls of the shop. Special shout outs to the following individuals for giving their time or talent since our last check in: Melody Parks, Becky Antkowiak, Robin Scarbrough, Brian Sigman, Phil Lenk, Chris Beach, Ashley Antkowiak, Emily Parks, Thomas Howard, Zachary Osbourne, Zachary Carr, Katie Marcum and Nolan Luther. We still need someone with some carpenter skills. If you or someone you know can volunteer a few hours, please contact sbeach@summit-academy.org.

On Thursday, the Seniors had some time outside for exercise since they would be at their Internships on Friday during the Walk-a-Thon. The boys decided to play some hoops during their time - even a few who don't usually play basketball. So much fun, lots of smiles, and lots of sweat:) Thanks, Mr. Adam, for the music, and to PTO for the water and the popcorn! And a shout out to high school for your fundraising efforts!
