Dear Members,

Due to unsafe road and parking lot conditions, we will remain closed for the rest of the day today, February 23. We plan to reopen tomorrow with regular operating hours. Preschool and Before/After School Care will follow the Summit Public School’s schedule.

We appreciate your patience as our team works to provide makeups and reschedule missed classes impacted by today’s closure. Additional information will be shared as soon as plans are finalized.

Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe.

Best regards,

The Connection Team
