Here is a letter sent to the lower house parents of the soon to be dissolved Summit House.
April 28, 2008
Dear Summit Parents,
As you are aware the Williston School District has been working on plans for next year which involve some configuration changes. Declining enrollments have prompted a reduction of four teachers, two in the middle school and two in the elementary school. At the same time, we are excited to incorporate full day kindergarten into our school program.
The loss of two teachers has created a Team change for Summit. Laura Lewis will be teaching a 1 / 2 at Williston Central and Michael Kellogg will be teaching a 3 / 4 at Williston Central. These two teachers will be connecting with Journey and creating a six person team. Jane Wilson will be teaching a 3 / 4 on Calliope. Sharon Davison will be teaching Kindergarten. I thank you for your patience as we have been working through this process internally before communicating it publically to our community.
The configuration and staffing changes discussed above will directly impact Summit. Students in Summit will either be placed on the new team or be distributed to one of the other lower house teams. We will place students in a thoughtful way with input from you. Please fill out and return the “Parent Input on House Placement” form by Tuesday May 6th. We will be asking for extensive input from your student’s teachers, as well. Although we can not honor requests for specific teams, we will do our best to find an optimal learning environment for your child while maintaining balance on our teams.
Thank you very much for your support and understanding in this reconfiguration process. If you have questions on this process please contact me or Beth Sumner our Guidance Counselor.
Sincerely,
John Terko
Principal
