Updates from Sanborn School
We are so excited for the start of the school year! We are fortunate that the large construction project has wrapped up and our teachers and staff have been setting up their classrooms this week in order to welcome your children to school next week. We are appreciative of the upgrades to Sanborn School as a result of the construction project: new HVAC system, new bathrooms in the MILE classrooms, and new lighting in some areas around the building. The temperature has been quite comfortable in the building!
There is something special about the joy of a brand new school year. The Sanborn staff is committed to providing your children with a warm and welcoming environment, and we look forward to a wonderful school year. Please read the information below which highlights our Meet the Teacher Event, General Sanborn Procedures, Health Office Information, Parent Orientation, and PTA information. If you have any questions, please let us know.
Warmly,
Kate Arenberg, Principal
