Bussing
Here comes the school bus!!!!!   Once again Sanborn Central will do our best to ensure that our students get to the right place after school.  We rely on parental communication to make this happen.

If your child/children are not being dropped off at the same point they were picked up in the morning PLEASE send a written note or make a call to school prior to 3:00pm.  We will not honor/recognize a student coming to school saying, “Mom said I’m supposed to go to Grandma’s tonight.” or just getting on a different bus. 

We do understand that situations arise requiring last minute changes and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Feel free to contact us with any questions.

New Students……If you know of anyone new in the area that plans on coming to our school, please ask them to contact us at 495-4183.

Be sure you check the Google drive for the school supply list in the Miscellaneous Folder!
