We have discovered much to our dismay, that some of the yearbooks have pages stuck together!  If you received yours already please go through it page by page.  If pages are stuck together, please return it to the school immediately.  Thank you - Mrs. Danek and Yearbook Staff

A huge thank you to the parents and students who came to our open house last night! It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet the new families.  HS students – if you had any problems registering, be sure to let Mr. Siemsen know.

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!
