Last week South Summit Middle School's 7th and 8th graders were asked that age-old question: What do you want to be when you grow up? Career Day was a success as students were able to choose three different career presentations to attend. Parents and community members were invited to share their careers with students. There was everything from a nurse to a firefighter to a fishery biologist. #wearesouthsummit #utpubliced #southsummitmiddle
February is Black History Month.
South Summit High's student to student peer tutoring group has been busy this year. They have been coming to the Middle School every week to help tutor students. We love our student tutors! #wearesouthsummit #sshswildcats #southsummitmiddle #fbla

Last week our teachers spent some time learning from one another. Friday was a professional development day, which gave certified staff an opportunity to collaborate with one another working in their Professional Learning Communities or PLCs.
Thank goodness for our snow removal team! #wearesouthsummit

JAN. 10, 2023: Due to snow accumulation, schools in the South Summit School District will implement a two-hour delayed start this morning.
In doing so, the district will follow its standard procedures with schools starting two hours later than their normal start time. Students will still be dismissed at the regular school end time.
Because of transportation issues and other logistics, any before-school programs and field trips scheduled to begin prior to the late-start time are cancelled.
All district school busses will also be on a two-hour delay and they, like private vehicles, may be slowed due to inclement weather.
As always, parents may choose to keep their student at home anytime they feel conditions are unsafe to travel to school. When those situations arise, school administrators and teachers will work with students so that they can complete any schoolwork that they may have missed.
As the second quarter wraps up, let's take a look back and see what has kept us busy. #wearesouthsummit #utpubliced

Ever wonder what Kris Kringle does during his time off? I bet you didn't know he drives a school bus! Our very own Destry Pollard has a not-so-hidden-talent as a stage actor. This past season he starred in High Valley Arts musical "Miracle on 34th Street" as Kris Kringle. Congrats on a great show, Destry! #wearesouthsummit #schoolbusdriversrock
Welcome back students! We missed you! #wearesouthsummit
