THE Newsletter

As families are gearing up for vacations, we wanted you to be aware of our school calendar. While work can be assigned to students while they are gone, it can never fully replace the direct instruction and hands-on activities and experiences in a school setting.

These calendars are negotiated between the Sumner Education Association and the District, Here are links to key dates that outline holidays, school board meetings and other events.

2021-22 school year

2022-23 school year

Our yearly Highly Capable referral window will open on Monday, November 22nd and close on Thursday, December 9th. Staff, families, and community members can make a referral using the Google Form on our website at www.sumnersd.org/highlycapable.

Please send your student to school with a water bottle. We have refill stations available for students. The water fountains are turned off right now and students need access to water while at school. We do have bottled water available, but we are going through about 90 per week.

All 4th and 5th graders will be taking online Needs Assessments next week. The purpose is to learn about what students may need related to academics, personal or future/middle school. I also want to make sure students know who I am and how to contact me if needed, in addition to knowing other adults at school who can help. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me at 253-891-6530 or at vicki_johnson@sumnersd.org.

Our Trailblazers are making THE merry and BRIGHT with their Circuit Snowflakes.

Here is a little glimpse into what they have been learning about... An electrical circuit is composed of a source of electrical power, two wires that can carry an electrical current, and a light bulb. One end of both wires is attached to the terminal of a cell while their free ends are connected to the light bulb. The filament becomes heated and produces light.

Thank you, Mrs. K., for bringing your unrelenting joy to THE every day. Your smile is contagious and we will carry it with us daily. Best wishes on your new adventure.
