In November, we announced the much-anticipated graduation dates. But, we just want to make sure this is still on everyone's radar that graduation is June 12 — Bonney Lake, 4 p.m.; Sumner, 7 p.m. — at the Tacoma Dome. To help support graduation attendance for staff and families for the earlier BLHS ceremony, the entire district will have a two-hour early dismissal instead of the normal Monday two-hour late start on June 12. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

Two-hour early dismissal schedule for June 12:

• Secondary, 12:20 p.m.: Bonney Lake and Sumner high schools; Lakeridge, Mountain View and Sumner middle schools
• Elementary (early start schools), 1:10 p.m.: Crestwood, Daffodil Valley, Liberty Ridge, Maple Lawn, Victor Falls
• Elementary (late start schools), 1:45 p.m.: Bonney Lake, Donald Eismann, Emerald Hills, Tehaleh Heights
• Sumner Early Learning Center, 1:20 p.m.

Do you know a child who will be five years old on or before Aug. 31? Maybe it's your neighbor, friend or even your own child. Now’s the time to enroll kindergarten students for the 2023-24 school year. The sooner you enroll, the better we can keep you informed.
