Military Family Resources
Summit Parkway Middle School has a significant military family presence. As such, when we know of resources that will aid these families, we want to publicize them. We have taken resource brochures geared toward aiding military families and put them in an electronic format for easier access for greater numbers of families. We also have some of these resources available in the front lobby as well as the counseling center office.
Please check back as we will be looking to update this site as often as we receive information regarding new resources.
Finally, a HUGE thank you to all our military families because we know that you serve, too.
