Dear South Summit Family,

This morning, out of an abundance of caution, Silver Summit Academy and Silver Summit Elementary followed standing security protocol and placed the building in secure status in which students and staff are asked to remain in the building and all doors are locked. We remained in this status for roughly 30 minutes. At no time were students or faculty in any danger.

The issue involved the safety of an individual student and was resolved without incident. We take the safety and security of your students very seriously and will always err on the side of caution.

See the link for information on South Summit School District’s emergency procedures, and Emergency Response and Prevention Plan. For information on the ‘‘Secure’’ protocol, please visit the attached “I Love U Guys” Foundation handouts. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 435-783-4301 should you have any questions.
