From the very start of senior year at Senior Summit, they show up fully, building relationships, setting expectations, and walking alongside our students as they step into this milestone year. We’re grateful for a team that invests deeply in our seniors and believes in who they are becoming.

Staying connected to your student’s school is a top priority for us here at Atlas. That’s why we use two apps to help you stay informed and engaged every step of the way.
PowerSchool lets you view your student’s schedule, grades, and attendance, update your contact information, and sign required documents.
The Atlas Schools App helps you message your student’s advisor, receive school and class updates, report absences, check dining menus, and more.
Need help getting started? Visit AtlasSchools.org > Families for step-by-step how-to videos. Still have questions? Our Family Center is open Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m., and we’re happy to help.

Erick, a first-generation college student, will attend Haverford College this fall, where his scholarship will cover tuition, housing, meals, and other related expenses. He plans to study electrical engineering, and we can’t wait to see the impact he’ll make.
👏Congratulations, Erick, your hard work, perseverance, and #GryphonGrit are an inspiration to our entire Atlas community.
And a huge shoutout to Ms. Wilson (pictured here with Erick), one of Atlas High School's College & Career Advisors, who supported Erick as he applied for this remarkable opportunity!

Ever wonder what an Atlas CLDE Interventionist does? 💬📚
First things first, CLDE stands for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education.
At Atlas High School, Ms. Mejia supports students by building language skills, confidence, and real-world communication, helping students strengthen how they listen, speak, and connect with others across learning environments.
Recently, her CLDE class took those skills on the road! As part of their final project, our high school students visited our elementary students to interview first-grade students. They practiced thoughtful questioning, active listening, and relationship-building while recording conversations about birthdays, favorite things, and fun facts, learning just as much from the first graders as they shared with them.
This kind of hands-on, cross-campus learning is a powerful example of how Atlas's CLDE support helps students grow as communicators, leaders, and mentors within our Atlas community.
