Message from the Executive Director, Penelope Pak

 Greetings Husky Families! We have some exciting announcements for this week: "Teaching and Learning" Tours for current families
We will be scheduling opportunities for current parents to come observe our classes and see how our enhanced academic program supports our mission to prepare all students for success in college, career, and life. Parents will have an opportunity to see how our teachers support student learning in class, and how our students are learning content, developing cognitive skills, and habits of success. Each tour will be followed by an observation debrief and Q&A session. Please stay tuned for an announcement regarding specific dates and times. Want to learn more about the Summit model?
Many of our community members have requested additional information regarding the Summit Next Generation school model. We have created a content "playlist," which provides a variety of resources detailing our program. If you are interested in learning more about how our enhanced model supports our mission to prepare all students for success in college, career, and life, we encourage you to visit this "playlist" at the following link: http://bit.ly/15Vq4Ai. Student Directory now available!
A big shout out to Jackie Kubicka, Candace Kelley, and Stacy Guthmann, for creating our student directory! Paper copies are available at our front desk so please feel free to pick one up anytime. Come support our Husky Athletes!
Our Girls Volleyball teams are having a great season and we'd love to have our entire community attend their next game this Tuesday at Kehillah Jewish School in Palo Alto, starting at 4 p.m. Our Boys Soccer team will play Everest this Wednesday at Marlin Park in Redwood City, starting at 3:30 p.m. We would love to see everyone come out to these two exciting events!

Summit Supply Wish Lists
Many parents who are unable to help volunteer at Summit often ask if they can support our teachers in a different way. If you are looking for a way to contribute to your student's grade, here are the lists of supplies that our teachers need by grade level and one for general supplies. By purchasing an item on these lists, you are helping Summit by allowing money for supplies to be spent on other necessities. Help Summit Win $5,000 - Write a review of the school for www.GreatSchools.org. If the school gets three reviews by the end of October, it will be entered for a chance to win $5,000, and every review above three is an additional entry, up to 10. This link will take you to write a review for Summit Prep - http://bit.ly/9bufxs. Search for Summit Prep, and then write your review.
