Never have our teachers been more appreciated and seen-even as they work with students from a distance.  Sanborn Central is blessed with the best and we want to extend a sincere Thank You to our hard working teachers as they make distance learning trouble-free!  Teachers appreciation week will take place May 4th-8th.  

The form for drivers education is due Monday, May 11th.  Please contact Mitch Korbel, at Mitchell.korbel@k12.sd.us or call at (952) 237-9228
Woonsocket and Sanborn Central will be holding driver’s education classes together again this year. The instructor is Mitch Korbel. Your cost for the program will be $250 per student: payable to the Woonsocket School District. There are a limited number of spots and priority will be given to the oldest students who submit their form by the deadline. The fee includes the Virtual classroom sessions and behind the wheel. (Fee will be due at the book pick up date in may. Before class begins.)
Due to Covid 19 the “in-class” portion will need to be conducted over distance learning methods and work done through the utilization of google classroom.  With questions or concerns please feel free to contact

Information on the coming weeks from Mr Siemsen
Sanborn Central Families:

As we start winding down the school year, I want to say thank you to all our parents, teachers and of course our students on all the hard work and effort that has been put towards this last quarter of school.  You all have made the best of a difficult situation, which has been awesome to see.  The end of this year has been so different that what we would like or expect it to be.  However, we do still have a little bit of time to finish it strong.  

The schedule for the remaining couple of weeks will be as follows:

Monday, May 4th - Pick-up/hand in materials and lunches, following the same patterns as the previous weeks.

This week will be the same as the rest of the quarter has been school-wise.  The difference will be at the end of the week.  All assignments will be due by Friday, May 8th.  Nothing new will be assigned after Friday.  So what does this mean for the students?  It means that the students will have until the scheduled end date of the school year, Tuesday, May 19th, to get all of their remaining work in to receive credit.  If a student has all their work completed by May 8th, then they have sufficiently completed their school year.  If not, they will have the remaining week to make sure they have gotten all their work in to their teachers.  If you have any questions about this, please contact Mrs. Vermeulen or Mr. Siemsen.

Monday, May 11 - pick up/hand in materials and lunches following the same patterns as the previous weeks

This week, as stated above, is considered to be the "Catch-Up" week.  Students with assignments that need to be turned in have until May 19th to get those in.

Monday, May 18 - pick up/hand in materials and lunches:  Families with the last name beginning with A - M will come and drop off all the school-owned materials and pick up any of their personal items they may have left.

Tuesday, May 19 - pick up/hand in materials and lunches:  Families with the last name beginning with N - Z will come and drop off all the school-owned materials and pick up any of their personal items they may have left.  

During both days, tables will be set up in the gym with each grade level labeled on them.  You will be asked to bring your items in and place them on the tables your student(s) belong to.  If you do not wish to come in, someone will be able to get the materials from you and take them in.  Again, if you have any questions please contact the school.

Thanks again for all you have done through this difficult time.  If there are any changes or updates to this schedule, they will be made available in the blog, on the school's website and Facebook page.
