Calendar Make-Up Days
May 25 and 29 and June 20 and 21 will now be SCHOOL DAYS.
Kindergarten Registration
Registration continues for children entering Sumner School District kindergarten classes for the 2012-13 school year. Please register as soon as possible as some programs fill rapidly. Registration packets are available in the school office or on the Sumner School District Web site.
When registering a child for school, families should bring:
- Proof of child’s birth date (birth or hospital certificate, passport);
- Immunization information and child’s health history; and
- Names and phone numbers of parents and emergency contact when parent/guardian cannot be reached.
Healthy Kids are Better Students
Research shows the positive effect of moderate to vigorous physical activity and fitness on academic performance. To help students better manage their personal fitness, PE teachers are utilizing new curriculum Five for Life that focuses on the "five components of fitness,” which are: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition.
Fitness measurements in the five areas help students to evaluate their current fitness levels and set goals for how to maintain or improve individual fitness. The result of these measurements is a personal fitness report which provides you with a snapshot of your child’s fitness status and the change in that status over time.
Five for Life will help students to understand how fitness affects general long-term health and will empower students to take charge of improving their personal fitness.
Please support your child’s fitness development by encouraging their participation in all aspects of fitness measurement at school and by joining them in physical activities and healthy eating at home.
Are you moving?
Planning has already begun for the 2012-2013 school year. It is important we have accurate enrollment information. If you are moving or think you might be leaving the area, we would appreciate having this information as soon as possible. Please call the Victor Falls office at (253) 891-4700 to let us know if your children will NOT be attending Victor Falls next year.
Warm Weather Attire
As the weather continues to improve, we would like to take this opportunity to remind families about our school dress code.
Shorts are fine, please make sure they are "finger-tip" length. All shirts should have sleeves and must cover the midriff area. Shoes should be sturdy enough to allow students to play safely at recess. On PE days, our Falcons should be wearing shoes that can lace (athletic shoes would be best).
Volunteer Application Now Online
The Sumner School District has a new online volunteer application process. All volunteers are encouraged to complete the online application as soon as possible. The application is linked from our school Web page by clicking on Volunteer Information.
The process should take approximately twenty minutes. To apply as a volunteer, please complete the following steps:
- Fill out the online application; please be sure to complete your profile and checklist.
- Complete the items in the checklist, including the mandatory disclosure. A State Patrol background check is conducted on all volunteer applicants.
- Once approved, all volunteers must annually resubmit an application to volunteer.
If you need help scanning documents to upload or access to a computer, please call or stop by the school office for assistance. Thanks so much for your willingness to serve the students of the Sumner School District.
