Bonney Lake High School Gym
Special Olympics athletes are students with disabilities or special needs. All athletes are either current students within grades 9-12 or in the district’s Community Transition Program, designed to help these students “transition” out of the school and into a more independent lifestyle. The program focuses on employment readiness, independent living skills, and other skills that students need to function and live more independently in the community. Students who have graduated from high school are eligible to participate in the program up to 21 years of age.
Changes to 2011-12 School Calendar: Snow Make-Up Days

Skylert Notifications
The District and all schools now have capability to send notifications about attendance, general messages and emergency alerts by phone, e-mail or text messages. All families should log on to Family Access to update their contact information and select preferred messages. Families will choose the phone number to which general and emergency messages will be sent (home, work or cell phone), with additional options for the message to also be sent by e-mail or text.
Preparing for Winter Weather
Winter weather brings road and driving conditions that might result in school delays or closures. Safety for your child is our primary concern. When winter weather impacts specific areas of the district, Limited Bus Transportation service areas may be announced. We try to make information available about school closure or changes to the school schedule by 5 a.m. Families should remember to check the Web site or call the District Hotline at 891.6001 for updated information about school operations.

Dear Parents/Guardians:
Bonney Lake High School opened its doors in 2005 with a staff who was ready and willing to do something different. We developed a team approach with our 9th and 10th grade students and developed opportunities such as our PLTW program (engineering), our culinary arts program, DECA (marketing), our financial program (w/BECU), and our early childhood education program, to name a few. In addition, we have continued to develop our Advanced Placement programs each year, increasing the number of courses which are available to students, as well as the addition of on-line opportunities to also serve student needs. We have a nationally recognized advisory/guidance program, as well as one of the lowest dropout rates in the state.
Based on this work and a variety of other factors, I am pleased to announce we are one of three comprehensive high schools (and one of 22 schools at all levels) throughout the state to receive the Washington State Innovative School Award. This is a tremendous honor and one of which we are very proud.
In addition, we have been notified by High Schools That Work (through the Southern Regional Education Board), that we will be one of twelve schools who will be recognized and showcased as a National Pacesetter School this summer.
We are proud of our student body and our staff’s accomplishments. We look forward to continuing to partner with you in the future to provide opportunities for our students.
On behalf of our staff, I want to wish you a happy holiday season. Thank you for your support!
Linda Masteller, Principal
