Tehaleh Heights Elementary School

Home of the Explorers, Donald Eismann Elementary is a Sumner-Bonney Lake School District school serving kindergarten through 5th grade in Bonney Lake. Enrollment has grown enough that, to keep kindergarten classes small, some kindergartners attend neighboring Tehaleh Heights Elementary for the 2026-27 year. Character education is part of every week. Students learn the 10 traits of CharacterStrong's PurposeFull People program, such as courage, honesty, empathy and cooperation, and practice Kelso's Choices, nine strategies for solving small problems on their own. We also use the Playworks program, and the district provides special education, Section 504 plans, highly capable services and support for multilingual learners. Each student has a district Chromebook through our 1:1 technology program. Families join us for Vocabulary Day, the 5th grade Living Wax Museum, Career Week, Family Fitness Night and the spring Growth Parade. Right At School offers before and after school care, the cafeteria offers breakfast and lunch with free and reduced-price options, and bus routes and a safe walking route serve the neighborhood. Ready! for Kindergarten sessions help incoming families prepare.
