Every year, the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District conducts state-mandated vision and hearing screenings in the fall for students in grades K-3, 5 and 7 – that’s about 4,500 students. The screenings identify barriers to learning for students in the early years. Hear from our District RN and one of our parents about the importance of these screenings in our schools.

Did you know that the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District has 10 Campus Safety Officers (CSO) and two School Resource Officers (SRO) dedicated to keeping our schools safe? Get to know what they do and who they are!

Students in Mrs. Schmitz’s third grade class agree to be “kind, caring and honest while always giving our best effort in our inclusive classroom.”

“We read the community agreement every day to start our day as a reminder of the expectations that we set for ourselves and each other,” said Mrs. Schmitz. “With three languages spoken in our classroom, our agreement is read in English, Spanish and Hindi.”

For John, the first day of school won’t be too much of a surprise. That’s in part because he was one of about 80 incoming kindergarteners who signed up for a two-day Kinder Camp at the Sumner Early Learning Center in August.
