Tiger Tales from Sanborn School
Week of September 5th, 2022
Dear Sanborn Families,
Teachers and staff have been hard at work setting routines and procedures in the classrooms. Instruction is well underway, and preliminary assessment information has been collected. Students in grades 2-6 participated in MAP testing (both reading and math), and students in grades K-2 participated in the FastBridge assessment last week. Teachers will use this information to guide instruction, and parents will receive informational reports once all students have been assessed.
Thank you to all of our families who attended Parent Orientation on August 24th. If you were unable to attend, please reach out to your child's teacher to obtain the information that was shared. We appreciate and value the home-school partnership so please let your child's teacher know of any questions you may have about the classroom.
We are looking forward to a wonderful month of September! If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school.
Warmly,
Kate Arenberg, Principal

Additionally, the handbook contains a summary of Board of Education policies governing District 15. The complete School District 15 Board of Education Policy Manual is available for public review at the District office and on the District 15 BoardDocs website.
A Gentle Reminder – No Pets on School Grounds
Per our Parent/Student Handbook (Chapter 3/page 18), no animals are allowed on school grounds during times when children are present unless pre-authorized by the principal. Please know such exemptions are made for trained service animals in use by a person with a disability. Should you need such an exemption, please communicate with your child’s principal. If you are walking your children to school with an animal, please ensure you are staying clear of the main entrances and of students arriving to/departing school.

PBIS Systems at Sanborn
Sanborn has three tiger traits: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe. Students were taught the expectations in all locations at Sanborn School at the beginning of the school year with their teacher and during station rotation activities. Positive reinforcement systems are in place to support students when they are following the three tiger traits. Please watch the following video to learn more about Sanborn's PBIS system:
From the PTA!
