Dear Summit Academy Families,
We hope you had a wonderful Halloween weekend! It was such a joy to see our students dressed in their creative and fun costumes last Friday—what a fantastic way to celebrate together as a school community.
Girls' basketball season is in full swing, and our Falcons are showing great spirit and determination. We have another home game today, and we’d love to see you there cheering them on. Let’s fill the stands and support our team!
This morning, we celebrated our Growth Awards and Honor Roll recipients. Congratulations to all the students who have set a higher standard for themselves and achieved success through hard work and dedication. It was inspiring to see so many of our Falcons recognized for their efforts.
Looking ahead:
As the federal government shutdown continues, we understand that some families may be facing unexpected financial challenges. Summit Academy Schools is committed to ensuring that all students have access to healthy meals during the school day. If your current income may now qualify for meal benefits, we encourage you to apply for free or reduced-cost school meals. Please refer to the Falcon Update for links and detailed instructions on how to apply.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we’re building a strong, caring, and resilient school community.
Warm regards,
Jeff Wyant, Ph.D.
Principal - Summit Academy K-8 Charter School

The application reflects your household’s financial situation at the time of submission, and families are welcome to apply whenever there is a change in income, such as during a furlough or reduction in work hours.Once approved, meal benefits remain in effect for the entire school year, even if your household’s financial circumstances improve later on.
