During May, students in grades 3, 4, and 5 will participate in SBA testing. We want every child to have the opportunity to do their best in a calm and focused setting.
Students will begin testing first thing in the morning and will work up to lunchtime and then potentially in the afternoon if needed. We have made special arrangements and schedules so they have the appropriate amount of support as well as ample work time to complete each portion of the test.
Families can help by planning ahead to avoid late arrivals, early pick-ups, appointments, and trips during the testing window whenever possible. Your support makes a big difference.
A consistent routine at home can also help students feel confident and prepared each day. Getting a good night’s sleep, eating breakfast, and arriving at school on time are all simple ways to support success. Thank you for partnering with us to help create the best possible testing experience for all students.

Immunizations
New requirements are in effect for students in preschool or kindergarten who are four years old or older on Sept. 1.
Washington state's school immunization law requires documentation of immunization at the time of school registration. A Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS), signed by the parent/guardian, must be on file at the school on or before the student's first day of school. Learn more about immunizations.
Love and Logic parenting represents a “how-to” practical approach to parenting that has been successfully taught over 25 years. The Love and Logic approach is fun! Participants will receive a free workbook while attending. This FREE training is provided by the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District and will use Love and Logic videos.
This training is available to any parent or guardian regardless of the age of their student. The training will be capped at 30 participants. SBLSD families will be given first priority for registration.
Participants will learn how to:
- Avoid un-winnable power-struggles and arguments (Putting an end to arguing, backtalk, and begging)
