High School Choice for 2023-2024
Eighth Grade Students & Parents, this letter was sent home on October 28, and again on November 1. For those who do not have an email address on file, here it is again.
Students in the Norcross Cluster have the unique opportunity to choose the high school they wish to attend, either Norcross High School or Paul Duke STEM. We have found that students and families make the best choice by learning about both high schools and choosing the school that best fits a student’s interests. An overview of the high school selection process will be shared with students, and it is available online at https://bit.ly/NorcrossClusterHS23. Please review this information and pay special attention to the dates of the upcoming information meetings where you and your student can learn more.
Next week students will watch an introductory video about Norcross High School and Paul Duke STEM High School during their school day to learn more about both schools. There will be virtual meetings the first week of November for parents to get an overview of both schools in English and Spanish. These meetings will be followed by evening meetings on each high school campus where students and parents can visit the schools and learn in detail what makes them unique.
Students and parents can begin familiarizing themselves with both schools by visiting the school websites at PaulDukeSTEM.org and NorcrossHigh.org. Eighth grade students will select which high school to attend and which elective classes they would like to take after the Thanksgiving break. We hope to see you at one of the opportunities below to learn more about Norcross High School and/or Paul Duke STEM High School.

Greetings Summerour Families:
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year!
We are going to have a wonderful school year together. Middle school is a wonderful time of learning about yourself and learning about the world around you. The most important thing to remember is to enjoy the journey and to always be the best version of You!
At Summerour, we strongly believe in the connection between school and home. Families and teachers are partners in student success. As a parent, if you ever have any questions or wonderings, please do not hesitate to reach out. Our goal is to provide excellent customer service to our students and families.
As an IB School, we focus on making a difference in this world. The students who sit in our classrooms are ready to take on that challenge. We encourage our students to participate in clubs and activities, learn multiple languages, and find ways to show compassion and kindness in OUR community. OUR students are learning to think critically and examine different perspectives. OUR students are also learning that perseverance plays a key role in achieving future goals.
Together, we are family, and we will take steps to secure a brighter future for the students of Summerour. Thank you for your support, belief, and hard work to make this happen. Let us use this year to build the future we want for OUR children.
For OUR future,
Dr. Natalie Looney
