Entering students are permitted 2 calls per week after the first week. They are able to earn more time as they progress through the Summit System. Students can receive and send letters, and are also able to receive e-mails. Parents may e-mail to a general student e-mail account. These e-mails are printed out and distributed each afternoon.

You will probably spend as much if not more time on the phone with your child’s behavioral coach, especially in the first few months. So you’ll have an excellent sense of how your child is doing.

There are also visiting weekends scheduled once a month. About every other month, these weekends are also Family Workshop weekends. Visiting families may take their child off-campus during visiting weekends (or the student may return home for an “Off-Campus Challenge”) once the student has reached the second level of the Summit System.
