Parents of Summerour Students,
Each year we offer you two surveys to report your thoughts on Summerour Middle School (and your children's other schools). The first survey was completed in September/October and was issued by the county. You may have taken that survey through your Parent Portal account. This second survey is issued by the state and is not available in your Parent Portal. It is offered in three parts. One part will be administered to teachers, one for students, and this one for parents. The parent survey is open until March 2.
Please consider taking the time today to go ahead and complete this survey from the Georgia Department of Education. More information is below.
Georgia Parent Survey:
The Georgia Parent Survey is modeled after the student survey and contains 24 questions. Parents may complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphone, or tablet. For parents who do not have access to the Internet, Summerour has a computer in the front office to allow parents to complete the Georgia Parent Survey at school between 8:15 a.m. and 4:15 p.m.. All parents are encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous, self-reported, and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. The Georgia Parent Survey is also available in Spanish. Parents may select the Spanish version within the survey. The Georgia Parent Survey link is posted below.

Greetings Summerour Families,
Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year. I want to personally thank you all for your support and devotion to OUR students! The year is off to a great start and we are committed to seeing our students grow each and every day. At Summerour, we strive to create partnerships between home and school so our students can be distinguished learners! We have published our tutoring schedule to ensure we are providing time and opportunity for our students. Did you know that students can retake any assessment as long as they attend tutoring first? We believe in second chances!
Our IB Learner Profile of the month is Thinkers. How can we all be better Thinkers? We can devote quiet time to studying and problem solving. We can also be Thinkers by analyzing and evaluating. Ask your child how they are thinking deeply each day at school.
This month we will be celebrating World Peace Day on September 20. This year the focus will be on Climate Action and thinking of ways we can better protect our natural resources. Students will be learning about the impact of natural disasters on countries, economies, and people groups. The goal is to raise awareness in OUR Future leaders of tomorrow.
Please don’t hesitate to email or call the school with anything you need. We have a Parent Center that is open after 1 p.m. daily to help you engage with your child’s school. We appreciate all you do, as Summerour parents and families, to make sure your child is on the right track with regard to their schooling.
With regard,
Your Principal, Dr. Natalie A. Looney
