If you or someone in your household is notified, or if you suspect, that you have been exposed to COVID-19, please email administration at frontdesk@thesummitprep.org. An administrator will contact you during school hours to discuss necessary precautions to follow before returning to the classroom and/or transitioning to Hybrid Learning.
Please stay home.
Administration will maintain communication with your family and notify the appropriate personnel and families if someone in your household tests positive for COVID-19. This information is considered confidential, and your privacy will be maintained in all such communications.

Winter Weather Procedures |
|
When inclement weather is in the forecast, a decision to close school or delay the start of the school day will be made as early as possible, and no later than 6:30 a.m.
Please note that, in accordance with current school policy, consideration may be given to starting the school day at 10:00 a.m., when feasible.
School closing or a delayed start will be communicated through TV and radio media, posted on The Summit's website and social media pages, and communicated through email and text message.
Teachers will provide information regarding learning activities through their email or Google Classroom and on their class blogs. In the event of back-to-back or extended cancellations, teachers will update information each morning by 8:45 a.m.
In the event of inclement weather that is NOT deemed serious enough to cancel school but creates a situation where it may not be possible for you to safely make it to school, perhaps due to the location of your home, use your best judgment. Absences or late arrivals due to difficult road conditions will be considered excused.
DRIVE SAFELY!
Rest assured, we will exercise good judgment when considering a school closing or delayed start to the school day, always keeping in mind, first and foremost, the well-being of our Summit community members.

A Special Message from The Board of Trustees |
|
Saturday was cold, but our Summit Team is solid gold!
While our outside temps plummeted over the weekend, your dedicated members of the Summit Admin team jumped into action to control a water pipe that burst in The Summit mechanical room early on Saturday. The Beall Family stumbled into a deluge of water inside the building on Saturday morning when they arrived for a Girl Scout meeting. Within minutes, our own Summit "First Responders" arrived at school and worked tirelessly as a team to turn off the water, alert City Utilities, salvage classroom materials, contact insurance, and begin clean-up efforts.
Among the first on the scene, Brad Beall, Summit Parent and Building and Grounds Committee member, was quick to share his praise for Dr. Heet and the admin team. "ALL of our frontline people were there in a heartbeat to deal with what could’ve been a catastrophic disaster for the building. I mean, the water was bad enough, but jets from the broken pipe were power washing the ceiling, which in turn was draining into the electrical and computer control room. We could’ve had electrical fires in addition to a mini-Niagara Falls. As someone who works in property management, I can tell you their quick response on a frigid Saturday morning was solid gold for us."
Dana Thomas, Building and Grounds Chair and Board Member, added, "Our administrative team members are unsung heroes. I just learned that the ENTIRE team showed up on a Saturday in frigid temperatures to perform grueling cleanup work in seven inches of ice-cold water. Their dedication to The Summit couldn't be more evident, or more appreciated!"
Commercial clean-up professionals and insurance assessors are on duty now with continued dry-out, clean-up, and repair planned for several weeks. Our Early Learners class has been temporarily relocated, and luckily, no other instructional areas were affected. Even though all is calm now, please take a minute when you next see these Summit "First Responders" to share thanks for another showcase of their huge hearts for our school community.
