Dear Everest Families, After months of planning, the study trips are finally here! These grade-level experiences are one of the most beloved traditions we have at Everest, forming memories to be treasured by students for years to come. As you have no doubt heard, we are still in need of a few final parent volunteers to drive our students. If you or a friend or family member is interested in generously donating time to make these trips possible, please reach out to a representative of your grade level immediately and learn more information by going to everest.summitps.org/studytrips. As your freshman, sophomore, or junior child prepares for this trip, please remind them that they will be representing your family as well as the Everest community while away from our building. School rules apply for the duration of the trip. We expect students to continue to embody our core characteristics, and encourage you to discuss how they plan to do so.
Just as we expect much from our students, we as a school do everything we can to ensure that our community is safe and informed. We hope that you took the time to read the email from Summit Public Schools on March 1st titled “Student Inclusion and Safety.” This memo outlines the values and commitments of our school with regard to some of the policies and events that have been recently featured in the national news. At Everest in particular, we continue to be committed to the safety and inclusion of all of our students, especially sometimes marginalized communities of immigrants and transgendered people. We are working to organize resources and events for families to learn more about their rights in the current climate. In the meantime, one organization that provides legal and informational help to immigrants is the International Institute of the Bay Area. Check out their website or visit their Redwood City office at the Fair Oaks Community Center if you or a friend is in need. Message From Our EPO
There are so many wonderful and unique things that I love about Everest. One of the best is the yearly Study Trip that each class goes on. It is an amazing opportunity for our kids to go onto college campuses each year, picture themselves at college and compare all of the different colleges that we take them to. It is also a wonderful experience for the parents who drive on these trips. You get to interact with your student's classmates, you get to see the colleges for yourselves (so much has changed since I went to college!), you get to meet other wonderful Everest parents and you get to really help our small school offer this wonderful opportunity for all of our students. We realize that this is a lot to ask, for you to take two days off of work, to be away from your family, but know that you are making a HUGE impact on our students and we are so very grateful for you. Thank you to everybody who will be driving this week. It isn't too late to sign up. Please text Jay Patel your name and student's grade if you haven't signed up and you want to: 415-254-4582.Everest Athletics Everest has 13 girls ready to play softball this spring, but as of now we do not have a coach.

Mike Blondino and Heather Lowe EPO - CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO DRIVE ON STUDY TRIP Our teachers have been working very hard to plan a rich, informative and fun College/Study trip for our students! The more a student is exposed to colleges and universities the more they see themselves in that world and see the amazing possibilities that world can provide them. Our College/Study Trips are scheduled as follows: * 9th Grade - Wed 3/8 and Thur 3/9 - Monterey Bay Aquarium/CSU Monterey Bay/ San Jose State The 9th grade trip will be two day trips, leaving first thing in the morning and returning in the late afternoon each day. The 10th and 11th grade trips are overnight trips and you will leave early on Thursday, March 9th and return Friday, March 10th in the late afternoon. Parents driving for the 10th and 11th grade trips are responsible for their overnight hotel stay...we will make hotel recommendations. Without parents like you this opportunity can not happen - we are a small school and rely on parent participation. Please volunteer to make this opportunity a reality for your child and others.
