Calling all future Trailblazers! Kindergarten enrollment for the 2024-25 school year is open! Do you know a child who will be five years old on or before August 31? Maybe it's your neighbor, friend or even your own child. Now’s the right time to enroll next year’s kindergarten students. The sooner you enroll, the better we can keep you informed. Get information on what documents you need and how to enroll -- the process is all online at sumnersd.org/register.

To help welcome our new kinders and their families, each of our elementary schools created virtual tours, which includes a school tour and staff introduction. Watch each schools' video here.

Ready to start the kindergarten registration process? Visit our Enrollment page for details on the three-step registration process.

Immunizations

New requirements are in effect for students in preschool or kindergarten who are four years old or older on Sept. 1.

Washington state's school immunization law requires documentation of immunization at the time of school registration. A Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS), signed by the parent/guardian, must be on file at the school on or before the student's first day of school. Learn more about immunizations.

Trailblazers love Book Fairs! Thanks to your support, our school earned more than $7,000 in Scholastic Book credit for our classroom and library inventory! We're grateful to Kaycee Layman and all our volunteers for orchestrating all the pieces to make this such a fun and successful Trailblazer event!

Did you miss the purchase window for ordering a yearbook? (It's the month of March each year.) Please email president@tehalehheightspta.org if you'd like to be added to the overflow list. Yearbooks are $20. While we do not order many extra copies and cannot guarantee we’ll be able to accommodate your request, on occasion, extra copies do become available. Yearbooks are delivered in June.

The most comprehensive place to see what’s on deck and get recaps and photos from recent PTA and school events is at Tehaleh Heights PTA and Tehaleh Heights Elementary on Facebook. Trailblazer parents and guardians, be sure you’ve also found your private Class Parents group on FB!
