5/24/24 Orders Due for Yearbooks (link to order below)

Dear Thunder Eagle Families,

It’s with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from LRE effective July 1 to pursue other opportunities, which are currently being finalized. I will miss the LRE community tremendously!

It has been a privilege and honor to serve our wonderful students and you, their families over the past seven years.

During the remainder of my time here at LRE, I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition and will work closely with our leadership team to prepare to hand over responsibility to whomever takes on the principal role at LRE.

As I prepare for this new opportunity, I will cherish the memories and friendships forged during my time here. Please know that I will always hold LRE close to my heart! Thank you for your support and understanding.

Sincerely,
Julana Hardtke, Principal
Liberty Ridge Elementary School

With cooler mornings and warmer afternoons we have had an influx of lost and found items like hoodies that get lost when it warms up. Items not claimed by this weekend will be donated to charity early next week. Thanks for your help and continuing to label your items with names.

Monday, June 17 will be a two hour early release, in lieu of a late start, to support attendance at Graduation. Like last year, it is a regular work day for staff, with morning meetings taking place after school rather than before. Advisory will not be held at secondary schools that day.

For your information, Sumner High School graduation will begin at 4:00PM and Bonney Lake High School will begin at 7:00PM. Student start and end times for the day will be as follows:

Students are now allowed to bring and apply sunscreen without a

Physician’s Order. Substitute Senate Bill 5404, signed last year by

Governor Inslee, allows students to bring FDA-approved

topical sunscreen to school without a prescription. Spray sunscreens are

not allowed.

1. Parent or student can apply sunscreen before leaving for school.

2. Students can self-apply the sunscreen to themselves at school. Staff

will not be able to assist.

3. Student’s name should be written on the sunscreen container with a

permanent marker.

4. Students are not allowed to share their sunscreen with others

because of allergy risks.

5. Send ONLY rub-on sunscreen to school, preferably unscented.

a. Many students do not have the coordination to effectively

apply spray sunscreens only on themselves.

b. Spray sunscreens in the crowded school settings are a

recipe for getting sunscreen in the eyes, mouths and noses

of other students.

c. Spray sunscreens are particularly risky for our students with

asthma, air-borne allergies and other respiratory conditions.
