Summit Hill Junior High School
Latest Updates--Graduation News for Friday, May 30, 2008
Congratulations to the Class of 2008! Graduation begins at 7 P.M. sharp. Graduates must arrive at 6:00 P.M. Parking will be difficult. Please car pool if possible. Also, Saint Francis Road will back up quickly and the light to turn south on Route 45 is very quick. Please plan accordingly.
Dress for the graduates:
Dress slacks/pants for the males with a dress shirt and dress shoes. Dresses, skirts or dress pants for the females. Please be careful with the heels that are chosen. The floor can be slippery if the room is humid. Students who arrive in gym shoes, shorts and/or jeans will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony. If the student is able to change into acceptable attire before the ceremony begins, he or she will be allowed to participate in the ceremony.
Please take a moment to review our expectations for the dignified ceremony. We will review these expectations during practice but you may want to take a moment to review them with your son and/or daughter. If any student acts inappropriately or disrespectfully at the ceremony (this includes inappropriate dress, etc.), he/she will be immediately excluded from the ceremony and the diploma will be held. Other expectations for the ceremony include:
• Cell phones and pagers are turned off
• No clapping, whooping and/or hollering out names for individuals. This must be held until the entire list of names is read so that every family can hear their child’s name read in a dignified manner. We don’t want to excuse families from the ceremony so we ask that all cooperate.
• No balloons – leave them in the car
• Flowers are okay after the recessional
• Young children should be supervised
We ask that all school fees/fines are paid prior to receiving the diploma.
Tickets are required for admission. Graduates and members of the band do not need a ticket.
We are committed to providing a dignified ceremony, which is befitting this occasion, and your support is crucial. The graduation of the Class of 2008 is going to be special and we look forward to having you join us for the commencement.

Third Quarter Progress Reports Update
February 19, 2008
Dear Summit Hill Junior High Parents:
I hope that you are finding parent access to your child’s grades and attendance records helpful and that it has helped to increase your child’s success. As of Friday, February 22, we will be extending PowerSchool online access to our grades 1-6 parents.
As a result of this change and from this time forward, Mid-Term Progress Reports will only be issued to those students who are in danger of receiving a “D” or an “F” in a particular subject or who have rapidly dropping grades. However, in order to monitor your child’s progress, you may still view your child’s progress at any time by using the PowerSchool online access at any computer with Internet access.
If you have any additional questions about your child’s progress, please do not ever hesitate to contact your child’s teacher at 815.469.4330. We want every child to be as successful as possible.
Sincerely,
Keith Pain, Superintendent
