COVID Update
In the event your student tests positive for COVID, please communicate with us ASAP. We would like you to contact our school nurse, Lorie Hunt by email: loraine_hunt@sumnersd.org . Ms. Hunt will conduct the intake and establish the return date for your student. The student's counselor will also assist with academic help, while the student is out of school. A general notification will go out to staff and families. No names will be published.
Please call the Attendance Office to report the absence: 253.891.5510. Absences related to Covid will be excused.
Weather Updates through SBLSD
Whether it’s snow, ice, flooding or severe wind with power outages, here are reminders to help you prepare for possible changes to bus and school operations.
- Refer to inclement weather procedures for an outline of what to expect regarding communications and operations.
- For safety reasons, there may be a need to offer limited transportation and use inclement weather bus routes. This means buses will generally run on main roads rather than side streets or through neighborhoods.
- NEW: We are now using “zones” (instead of letters) to define inclement weather bus routes. Please become familiar with the zone your child’s bus route falls within. This may be different from what you’re used to from last year. It is the responsibility of families to know if they live on an inclement weather route.
- Bus drivers will hand out hard copies with the inclement weather bus zone specific to your child on Nov. 21. For questions, please call the Transportation Department at (253) 891-6400.
- Follow us on social media for updates: Facebook, @SumnerSchoolDistrict; Twitter @SumnerSchools; Instagram, @SumnerBonneyLakeSD.
It’s important to keep in mind that while streets might be clear in the Sumner valley, that’s often not the case on the hill in Bonney Lake, where there’s considerable elevation and tight, winding roads.
