Summit Hill Elementary

As the month goes on, we get various pieces of information that I want our parents to receive in advance. This is a mini-newsletter to keep you up-to-date on campus activities and information. A December: Fly on the Wall newsletter will be going out at the end of November. I left the contents from the November newsletter at the bottom if you need to reference any previous information.

As always, if you have any questions, please reach out at 903-745-4100 or at Aronow.Rebecca@HoweISD.net. Thank you for partnering with us on this journey of growth!

Warm regards,

Rebecca Aronow

We are getting low on sweatpants and leggings. If you are refreshing your closets for the new season, consider donating to your child's school if you have things your child has outgrown. We accept donations of gently used items such as, running shoes, socks, sweats, leggings and t-shirts. Girls & Boys underwear are acceptable if they are clean and in like new condition. Also every student, regardless of age, should carry a change of season appropriate clothing in their backpack. Even "big kids" have accidents, or damage to clothing.

With temperatures getting cooler, please dress your child for the day's expected weather. This may mean layers, like a light jacket and long pants with a t-shirt underneath. Most outdoor times are completed by 1pm for our campus, so they may go out in the morning's cooler temperatures. WRITE THEIR NAME IN THEIR JACKETS!

If your child is sent home in borrowed clothing, please return items as soon as possible. If you are unable to wash them, we can do that after returned.

Dress code concern.. Seeing LOTS of way too short shorts. Spaghetti straps. (even on cold days)
