T.H.E. Trail Guide

As we continue to work towards our goal of 95% daily attendance, the elementary schools of the Sumner Bonney Lake School District are engaging in a district wide attendance competition. The First Annual Attendance Cup will take place April 10th - May 5th. The main intent of our competition is to reinforce healthy behaviors that prevent illness, such as washing hands and covering coughs. A secondary intent is to form a partnership with families in which school attendance takes priority during weekdays, from the start of the day to the end of the day. Thank you in advance for ensuring your child is at school on time every day engaged in learning (when they are healthy).

Have a great weekend!

Jennifer Knight, T.H.E. Principal

We’re excited to announce the completion of a greatly-enhanced safety and security measure at our buildings’ front entrance — a voice and video intercom system.

Most buildings districtwide* are now operating the new system, which features a remote door release function. As these intercoms bring about an extra layer of security, so are there extra steps you may have to take before entering the building. After pressing the intercom button, please be prepared to:

• Give your name

• State your purpose for visit

• Show your photo ID

We thank all visitors for being a partner in helping ensure a safe teaching and learning environment for all. This intercom project was made possible through the voter-approved 2018 Technology Levy.

*Lakeridge and Sumner middle schools are working out some minor bugs, but should be online and working next week. Installation at Mountain View Middle School will take place this summer during repairs to their front entrance.

The first season of Tehaleh Heights Elementary Grade Level music concerts continues with our second and third grades performing "Kid Flix" here in the THE Launchpad on April 27.

• Second graders should plan on arriving at 4:45 for a 5:00pm performance.
• Third graders should arrive at 5:45 for a 6:00pm performance.

RAISE CRAZE PRIZES went home with students in March. If your child did not receive the Raise Craze prizes they earned during our February Kindness Campaign and Raise Craze PTA fundraiser, please reach out to president@tehalehheightspta.org by April 21. This is the last call for any prize discrepancies.
