Spartan Days '25 - '26

As we prepare for the upcoming Fall sports season, we want to remind families that all outstanding school fines and fees must be paid before a student can be cleared to participate in any athletic program.

This includes any technology fines, athletic fees, or course-related material charges. Ensuring that these are resolved ahead of time helps streamline the clearance process and avoids any last-minute delays for your student-athlete.

Unpaid fines/fees can be paid online at https://wa-sumner.intouchreceipting.com/. You must use your parent login information. You can also pay in person at the District office.

If you have questions about any fines or need assistance with payment options, please contact Danielle @ 253-891-5527, until June 25th. After that, you may contact Janet Sloss at the District Office at 253-891-6000. Danielle will return to office on 8/14/25.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued support of Sumner High School athletics.

Parking Lot Update

Faith Covenant Church of Sumner has been honored to support Sumner High School parents and students by allowing the use of our parking lot across from SHS’s ballfields. It has been our joy to contribute to our community in this way over the years. As we expand our Little Sprouts Early Learning Center to full-time use, the parking spaces are now needed exclusively for Faith Covenant Church and Little Sprouts Early Learning Center purposes. As of today, we must close the parking lot to all uses not related to these activities. Clear signage has been (or will be) installed to indicate the updated policy. Faith Covenant Church remains committed to supporting the education of children in our Sumner community who may one day attend Sumner High School. If you have any questions, please contact us directly at (253) 863-5101.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we move forward with these changes.
