Summer construction limits access to Sumner High School
As contractors work over the summer to complete the new heating, ventilation and air cooling system at the high school, staff will relocate to temporary offices in the portables on the north side of the school. The entire Sumner High School campus will be closed to the public for the month of July. Fees and fines can be paid at the District Office.
Students may request transcripts online.
Beginning August 1, there will be restricted access to the temporary offices for students and families needing assistance with registration, transcripts or other school-related business. Contact Sumner High School at 253.891.5500 for further assistance.

From the Principal's Desk
I hope you are having a great start to your summer. As contractors work over the summer to complete
the new heating, ventilation, and air cooling system at the high school, staff will relocate to temporary
offices in the portables on the north side of the school for the month of June. The entire Sumner
High School Campus will be closed to the public for the month of July and the first two weeks of August.
Fees and fines can be paid at the District Office. Transcripts may now be requested by students
online.
Beginning August 1, there will be restricted access to the temporary offices for students and families
needing assistance with registration, transcripts, or other school-related business. Contact Sumner
High School at 253-891-5500 for further assistance.
Scheduling information for the 2009 – 2010 School Year
This spring, after the adoption of a state budget, our staffing allocation was calculated and work progressed
on the construction of a Master Schedule. With the number of specialty programs on our campus,
this is a very involved and challenging task. I cannot thank enough those working on this task for
their diligence and effort. This year our students submitted their schedule requests as part of the
Master Schedule process.
The next step in this process is the placement of students in the classes. This is accomplished by computer
program and the work of our counselors. Every effort will be made to honor each student’s requests.
If that is impossible, we will substitute using alternates as closely related as possible. During
this time we will also be checking for prerequisites (proper sequential courses, grade requirements,
graduation requirements for seniors, etc.). If necessary, we will alter schedules to reflect proper
placements.
Schedule Pick-up Days for the 2009-2010 school year are enclosed for your planning. During these
times students pick up schedules, pay fees, get photo ID, lockers, and clearance cards.
** If you are unable to attend, schedules may be picked up the first day of school. Picture retakes will
be in September. Students must be wearing school appropriate clothing for their school pictures.
We begin the new school year on September 8th. Our Freshmen will begin school at 7:35 am for a
morning orientation and welcome to high school. Buses will run on the normal schedule for these students.
We are in the planning process for this event and will be providing more information soon.
Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors will begin their day at 12:30 pm. Transportation will run 5 hours
later for these students, with normal stops being used.
We will update our back to school information as we get closer to the start of the new school year.
We hope this information is helpful in your planning. Have a great summer.
Bill Gaines, Principal
