Sandburg Families,
What an exciting week. Tuesday's three hour power outage in 90 degree heat was a true test of our wonderful professionals and students at Sandburg. Students were relocated to cooler parts of the building, teachers had longer than expected class periods, lunch was served and the power returned at 10:30 a.m.- Whew! We are Panthers!!
Student Services Information
During the week of September 10th,
we will begin balancing classes. Some of our classes are larger in some periods
than other periods. After students who did not show up to school are
withdrawn, we will have space to make the classes more balanced. Your child’s
schedule may need to change. If your child’s schedule does change, we will get
the new schedule to your child as soon as possible.
Kiss and Ride Reminder
Remember to pull up as close to entrance 2 as possible, (past the yellow curbs) to drop off students so that the cars behind you can pull up and drop off as well. Students can use door 1 and 2 to enter the building.This ensures the safety of our students and alleviates back up in the morning.
Sandburg Spirit Wear
Show your school spirit and design your own Sandburg Spirit wear. Free shipping when you place your order on the website between 9/7 - 9/24/18.
