Dear LRE Families,

I am so proud of our Thunder Eagles and their hard work this week. Third, fourth and fifth grades completed the English Language Arts portion of the SBA, while kindergarten, first and second grades supported them with motivation all week! Next week we venture into the math portion of the SBA. Please continue to talk to your child about giving their best on the test every single day. Our students have been working hard all year and are completely prepared to be successful on the assessment, but reminders and extra motivation are always appreciated!

Our staff felt the love this week with staff appreciation, thank you to our students, families, and our PTO for all of the recognition!

Reminder:

There will be a district wide early release for students on June 12th to support families in attending graduation ceremonies. The early release will be in lieu of our normal late start Monday. Liberty Ridge will be dismissed at 1:10 on this day. Please plan accordingly.

-Julana Hardtke

Principal, Liberty Ridge Elementary

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.
