Principal's Note
Dear Sandburg Families,
We hope you had a restful weekend. As we move through November, thank you for your continued partnership and support. Regular attendance, arriving on time, and checking Schoology and ParentVUE together can help students stay on track as the quarter continues.
Join us for the PTA meeting
We look forward to seeing families at the PTA meeting on Thursday evening. Our Assistant Principal over English Language Arts will join us to share information about our ELA program and answer questions. We hope you can attend and be part of the conversation.
Celebrating National School Psychology Week
November 9–13 is National School Psychology Week. Please join us in celebrating Ms. Turner, our school psychologist, and thanking her for the care and support she provides to our students and families.
A few November reminders
As the weather gets cooler, please help students come to school dressed for the weather as PDT will still occur outside. November is also a good time to check in with your child about their goals, assignments, and progress in each class. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your child’s teachers so we can work together.
Thank you for all you do to support our Sandburg community. Have a wonderful week!
Ms. Laxton
