Summer School
Elementary Summer Intervention
This program is designed to provide academic assistance to students entering grades 1-5. It is an opportunity to bridge the gap between June and September, helping students retain skills learned throughout the school year, as well as providing additional help with those areas your child may find most challenging. Teachers provide engaging activities focused on reading, writing and math in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. We look forward to working with your student as they endeavor to enhance these important academic skills.
Who should attend summer school?
Students who are not meeting standards in reading, writing and/or math should attend the summer school program. District standards for students can be found on the Sumner School District Web site at www.sumner.wednet.edu. This program is available to Sumner School District students only.

From the Principal's Desk
During these past twelve years, I have worked alongside talented and inspiring teachers. Families have been fabulous to work with, always opening their hearts and giving generously of their time to make our school a great place to learn. The children of Bonney Lake Elementary have inspired all of us to do the best job possible. Effective with the 2008 - 2009 school year, I will become principal of McAlder Elementary School and Sandy Miller, current principal of Crestwood Elementary School, will become the principal of Bonney Lake Elementary. Thank you for the memories and for allowing me the opportunity to work with your children over the years!
I am working closely with Mrs. Miller to ensure a smooth transition. Information on upcoming transition events will be forthcoming. As we near the end of this school year we have many exciting activities planned; I encourage you to enjoy them all!
Susie Black,
Principal
