From the Principal's Desk
Dear Families:
Congratulations to our Community Students of the Month from Daffodil. Logan Windish, fifth grade, is Deputy Mayor for our student council and also a leader in our community. Allison Taylor, third grade, excels as a student and is motivated to always do her best. They were honored with community certificates and an article in the Bonney Lake/Lake Tapps Courier Herald. We also would like to congratulate the Sumner Middle School students of the month former Dolphin leaders, eighth-grader Abigail Hensler and sixth-grader Jorge Molinero. We are proud of all of our students and it is great to see them honored.
We had a couple of exciting Fridays as the fifth grade and fourth grade self-managers traveled to the ‘top of the school’ for a tour of all of the vents and hoses that make our school run! It was fun and they had a great time finding the spot above their classroom and doing a little dance for those below!
Just a reminder that we do not have supervision for students who are dropped off before the Dolphin breakfast starts at 8:55 am. Staff is busy working to get their lesson ready for the day or meeting with other staff members. The office is also a busy place in the morning and we are unable to keep an eye those who come to school early. Teachers open their doors for students at 9:10 am and school starts promptly at 9:20 am except Late Start Wednesdays when teachers open their doors at 10:40 am and school starts promptly at 10:50 am.
It is important for students to arrive for the beginning of their school day. In the first five minutes students hear the days announcements and teachers take attendance and our lunch count for the day. Students move to their ‘specialists’ ten minutes after school starts. It is hard for your child to walk in late or start the day without all of the important information.
You are always welcome to attend our assemblies.
