At the forefront of any choice we make is our steadfast commitment to our students and our mission to create high-performing schools, where students from diverse backgrounds can prepare for success in college together, that are small and safe, and sustainable on the limited public school funding we receive from the state. We deeply believe that our campus and Tahoma's new home at Oak Grove will offer our schools the opportunities to both continue to deliver on our mission and build the long-term homes we always envisioned.

Sincerely,

Jesse Roe, Executive Director

Thank you to Mr. Avarca, Ms. Goddard and Ms. Horn for their participation in the Parent Training and Celebration of Learning along with Mr. Roe and Mr. Bock.

The students who presented at the Celebration of Learning did a wonderful job of explaining their projects, answering questions and giving parents and other students a glimpse into their academic work.

Starting on November 3, the LunchMaster is going to provide meals to all Summit Public Schools. They provide great, affordable meals. Please click here to see more information about our school meals.

Everyone is invited to join the parent and student leadership team, PSCG, or Parents and Students for a Common Goal. It's a great way to earn your volunteer hours and contribute to the Summit Rainier community. Students, under the leadership of Ms. Goddard are leading the Recruitment, Sports & Clubs, and Events Committees, while parents are taking the lead on the Communications, Volunteers and Fundraising committees. We are actively seeking parent and student volunteers to participate on all of these committees.

PSCG meets on the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm on the Rainier campus. PSCG meeting dates are November 5, December 3, January 14, February 4, March 4, April 1 and May 6. We hope that you will join us!
