Kindergarten Registration!!!

The Sumner School District offers full-time and part-time kindergarten classes. Part-time students attend school all day on Mondays, Tuesdays and alternating Wednesdays (Red kindergarten) OR all day on Thursdays, Fridays and alternating Wednesdays (Blue kindergarten). Some elementary schools offer a tuition-based, full-time program on a space available basis for children who qualify. Full-time kindergarten students attend school every day and have the same school calendar as students in grades 1-5. Students enrolled in full-time kindergarten receive extra instruction time to learn basic skills for first grade. All children enrolled in the full-time program must qualify through participation in a screening process held later in the spring.

Full-time Kindergarten Rates
Registration Deposit (applied to June tuition): $100
Full Pay Monthly Tuition: $325

All children enrolling for kindergarten for the coming school year must be five years old by August 31, prior to the start of school. When registering a child for school, families should bring:

• Proof of child’s birth date (birth or hospital certificate, passport);
• Immunization information and child’s health history; and

The Sumner Police Department is once again partnering with local businesses and individuals to assist families in need this holiday season through the Sumner Toy Box program. Starting now, you can bring new toys to City Hall for any age (up to 18) or a monetary donation that officers will use to buy toys and other items needed. Sumner Police are working with the Sumner-Bonney Lake Family Center to match toy donations with the wishes and needs of local boys and girls in Sumner who otherwise likely won’t receive a gift.

The City Hall Toy Box will be open for donations Monday-Friday, 8 am – 5 pm. Toys should be new and unwrapped. “Elves” who can’t make it during those times may contact Records Clerk Sherrie Duggan at (253) 299-5662 or Officer Loren Houselog at (253) 255-6454 to schedule a special appointment to deliver donations. Donations must be received by December 23, 2011, in order to make it to homes in time for the holidays. Monetary donations are also accepted.

Donors wanting their dollars to be shared in the Sumner community should bring donations to the Sumner Police Department or mail them to Sumner Police Guild, attn: Toy Box, 1104 Maple Street, Sumner, WA 98390.

Those knowing a family in need who may want to participate or wanting to set up a satellite collection site at their business should also contact Ms. Duggan or Officer Houselog.
