Dorian Studios will take pictures of all students who were not here on October 4th as well as any students who need retakes. Order forms are available in the office or at MyDorian.com. If you ordered pictures in October and want retakes, please return the first picture packet with your child in order to avoid additional charges.

Becky Purser has moved to the other side of the office, taking the position of Administrative Secretary. This week we were joined by Angi Sullivan taking over the Registrar/Building Secretary role. Angi has worked in the district for many years and you may have seen her as a long term substitute teacher or counselor in other schools. She is a long time Bonney Lake resident, with two daughters going through Bonney Lake schools.

Angi is the first stop for our families for registration, attendance and dismissal changes. If you need to contact her, you can call the main office line or email her at angi_sullivan@sumnersd.org

Does your child perform at significantly advanced academic levels when compared with others? Consider referring them for Highly Capable Services by submitting a referral during the Nov. 15 - Dec. 8, 2022 window. Referral forms will be available using the link below. Paper packets will be available at the District Office.

Learning characteristics could include:

• Analytical thinker
• Accelerated learner
• Advanced language speaker
• Self-motivated

Upon referral, testing will be held during the months of January and February. Test scores will be reviewed to determine eligibility and families will be notified by March.

Referral period closes on Dec. 8. Late referrals will not be accepted.

Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for the afternoons of November 16-18 and 22. Earlier this week your child's teacher sent out a conference sign up. Make sure your check your email or remind 101 for more information. Make sure you visit our PTA Book Fair in the library before or after your child's conference.

During conferences, school will be dismissed at 12:15. Monday, the 21st, will be regular late start and 3:45 dismissal.

All lost and found items will be donated to a local charity on Wednesday, November 23. Please make sure you visit the lost and found during conference!

Our food drive is off to a great start! Thank you to those who have donated items for this great cause. We are hoping next week we will inch closer to our goal of 7,000 items!

If you are in need of holiday gifts for your children, please contact our counselor, Dani Steele, danielle_steele@sumnersd.org

READY! for Kindergarten is a free program that offers age-appropriate targets, trainings and tools for parents and caregivers of children birth to age five that ensure children success in school. Typically funded for school districts, foundations and community organizations.

• Parents or caregivers attend workshops specific to the age of their child.

• Class recommendation based on their birthdate and the year they will enter kindergarten (Birth to age 1, 1-2 years old, 2-3 years old, 3-4 years old, and 4-5 years old)

• Materials and information presented are tailored to the child’s age group. New materials and information provided at each seasonal session.

• Multiple dates are offered for family convenience:

• If you have multiple children, sign up for two dates or bring an additional adult to attend both workshops.

• READY! classes are for parents. One set of handouts and a toolkit is provided for each child, but an adult must attend the class to receive the materials. We cannot give you tools for someone else's child.

• Sumner-Bonney Lake School District provides the READY! Program FREE to families within the school district boundaries. Out of district families are required to pay a one time $25 fee for Orientation Materials and a $60 fee for each class attended to cover the costs of the learning tool kits.

Donald Eismann is officially on Facebook! On our page you will find the weekly newsletter, pictures of the amazing things that are happening at our school and information to keep you connected! Did you know parent involvement in the school not only enhances academic performance, but also has a positive influence on student attitude and behavior? We are hoping this page is another way for families to feel connected with our school. We are so thankful to be serving your students and our community.
