From the Superintendent’s Desk…

Mrs. Hays

First of all, I would like to thank all of you who helped make my first year as superintendent a rewarding experience.  There were so many “firsts” for me to learn, and I could not have done it without the help and support of a great staff, great parents, great organizations, and great community.  I also want to recognize the students.  Summerville Grade School is blessed to have the student body that we have.  Our students are GREAT! 

With the 2009-2010 School Year over, it is time to begin making plans for next year. We will be handling Student Registration a little differently this summer.  In July, registration packets will be mailed to your home address.   Parents/guardians will complete the forms and return them to the school on Registration Day, August 2^nd.  There will be morning and evening hours available to complete registration.  (See section on Registration in this newsletter for details.)

Pesticide Application Notification

                 The school is required to notify parents at least 4 days in advance of the building and grounds being sprayed for insects.  For the 2010-2011 School Year those dates will be:

August 5^th, December 23^rd, and one day during Spring Break (week of March 21^st).  Please notice that these dates are all when school is not in session.

 SCHOOL ZONE

Please remember the laws regarding driving in a school zone.

1.  The speed limit is 20mph when the lights are flashing.

2.  It is illegal to use a cell phone in a school zone.

3.  It is illegal to text while driving.

    Most people are aware that texting while driving is against the law; however, many 

    are not aware that talking on a cell phone in a school zone is also against the law. 

Please observe the laws to ensure the safety of the students and our crossing guard.  thank you!
