Mountain View will begin collecting nonperishable foods for the 12th Annual Mayor's Food Drive on December 1st. Donations will be distributed through GoodRoots Northwest and will benefit families in the Sumner-Bonney Lake, White River, and Dieringer school districts.


Our main focus this year will be canned green beans.

Parent Curriculum Review Night Parent Curriculum Review Night

Comprehensive Sexual Health & HIV/AIDS Prevention Curriculum- Parent Curriculum Review Night

Washington State law requires that every student receives Comprehensive Sexual Health education, including HIV/AIDs prevention education, in grades 6 through 12. Because this unit covers sensitive topics, Washington State law and SBLSD board policy require that parents are provided the opportunity to preview these lessons.


The Sumner-Bonney Lake School District (SBLSD) is hosting a curriculum night for families to preview the Comprehensive Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS prevention curriculum for students enrolled in the following:

● 1st semester 7th and 8th grade Skills for Life

● 9th grade Health classes


The Curriculum will be available for preview. This is an opportunity for parents and guardians to understand the curriculum content for students currently enrolled in 7th or 8th grade Skills for Life or 9th grade Health classes, preview teaching materials and ask questions about the resources used in the classroom.


Parent Review Night

December 4, 2025 4:30-6:00 p.m.

Sumner-Bonney Lake School District Administration Building, Board Room

Parents wishing to exclude their child from the Sexual Health and/or HIV/AIDS curriculum, as required by our state, must preview this curriculum and sign an exclusion form.


Additionally, there will be another opportunity in the spring for families of 6th-12th graders who will study this Health-related content during 2nd semester.

District Attendance Communications District Attendance Communications

Good Attendance is Important

We value every student’s contribution to our school community and miss them when they are gone. Regular, daily attendance is one of the most important things a student can do to be successful in all grade levels.


Please remember…

  • All absences (excused and unexcused) have the potential of harming students academically.

  • Students who miss 10 percent (18 days) of the school year, or two or more days a month, are defined as being chronically absent.

  • By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.

  • By 9th grade, regular and high attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.

  • It takes an average of 3 days for a student to catch up from every 1 day of being absent.

  • Missing 3 or more days of school per month can set a student back up to 2 full years of learning.


Assess Your Student’s Attendance

Take an assessment of where your student is a quarter of the way through the school year and learn what you can do to help.

  • The Satisfactory Zone (0-3 absences): Your child has good attendance. Celebrate and make a goal with your child to have even better attendance.

  • The Warning Zone (4-6 absences): Your child’s learning may be affected. Pay special attention to make sure your child is keeping up with school work and support strong attendance in the future.

  • The Danger Zone (7-9 or more absences): There is a good chance your child has fallen behind academically. Develop a plan with your child’s school to help your child get to school on time and attend regularly.


Good attendance matters

  • Chronic absence (missing 10 percent of the school year or more) does not just affect the students who miss school. If too many students are chronically absent, it slows down instruction for other students, who must wait while the teacher repeats material for absentee students. This makes it harder for students to learn and teachers to teach.

  • Good attendance helps children do well in school and eventually in the workplace. Good attendance matters for school success, starting as early as prekindergarten and throughout elementary school. By middle and high school, poor attendance is a leading indicator of dropout. Developing the habit of attendance prepares students for success on the job and in life.
