Proud of Our School Culture at Summit Elementary School

SCHOOL SPIRIT

Monthly school-wide morning meetings are a chance to build community, highlight student achievements, and have fun! Hosted by a different grade each month, our “SWMMs” are opportunities for student leadership as we sing, dance, and welcome special guests.

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT

We value strong connections between home and school. Parents, grandparents, and other guardians make a meaningful impact in our PTO and as volunteers. We also love to welcome families at monthly school-wide morning meetings and events throughout the year.

SCHOOL TRADITIONS

From family literacy night to the annual Buzz by Belmont 5K, from spirit days throughout the year to our end-of-school field day, we have many fun rituals for marking milestones in learning, cultural events, and the rhythm of the school year.
