Summit Family Health Pledge
The Summit Family Health Pledge enlists our shared commitment as faculty, students, and families in upholding the necessary guidelines and procedures to keep our Summit family safe. We will require all faculty, staff, families, and students to sign and agree to the pledge in returning to on-campus learning.
If your child is participating in on-campus learning, once you have reviewed our One Summit Family Plan and our Family Training Videos (below), please use the link below to access and sign the Summit Family Health Pledge by August 17. Feel free to contact our office if you have any questions.

Family Training Videos
In follow up to the procedures detailed in our One Summit Plan, we have developed two family orientation videos to prepare you and your child for starting the school year. If you have selected remote learning for your child, you should have received a separate email with more detailed information on Summit’s remote learning plan.
