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.

Kindergarten kickoff video

To learn more about kindergarten in the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District, watch this video for an overview of kindergarten, the registration process and forms, resources, transition events and kindergarten readiness.

School orientations

To help welcome new kinders and their families, each of our elementary schools will host a Kindergarten Roundup. Prior to kinder screening, Roundup provides students/families an opportunity to physically tour school and meet important people as well as get pertinent information regarding registration. Find the date and time for each school’s orientation.

New immunization requirements

New requirements are in effect for students in preschool and kindergarten who are four years old or older on Sept. 1. Learn about the requirements, documentation, exceptions and more.

Free ‘Love and Logic’ parenting workshop series this spring

The Sumner-Bonney Lake School District invites parents/guardians to a free, five-session parenting workshop to learn how to:

• Avoid un-winnable power struggles and arguments

• Set enforceable limits

• Empower kids

• Help kids learn from mistakes rather than repeating them

Choose your weekly workshop series (limit 30 individuals):

• Thursdays, March 2-30 at 5:30-7 p.m. at Donald Eismann Elementary

• Wednesdays, April 19-May 17, 5:30-7 p.m. at Crestwood Elementary

Love and Logic parenting represents a “how-to” practical approach to parenting that has been successfully taught over 25 years. The Love and Logic approach is fun! Participants will receive a free workbook while attending. Childcare, water and snacks will be provided at each session.
