A Note from Mrs. Johansen
Dear Sandburg Families,
We had a great week! Here are a few notes...
- First quarter grades are no available in Infinite Campus.
- Tuesday is one of our Wildcat Theme Days! The theme is DECADES Day! Dress in your favorite Decade!
- November 7th is a half day of school. Students dismiss at 10:35. No after school activities.
- Congratulations to all the boys who made the 7th and 8th grade Boys Basketball team for the 23-24 season. The season calendar is linked HERE.
Conferences will be held on November 20th and 21st. We have limited conference times and are dedicated to making sure we have crucial conversations with students and parents we really need to connect with. Starting this week, we are contacting specific parents by email who we need to connect with regarding their student's progress so far.
Please know, we are not able to have a conference with every parent given the limited time. However, we are always happy to have a conversation with parents regarding your child's progress at any time.
Our school staff contact list is updated and available on the D15 website. Feel free to print it and keep it handy in the case you need to get in touch with any of our staff throughout the year.
One of our NJHS students is completing service hours and collecting items for Night Ministry. There will be a collection box in the foyer at Sandburg. All donations can be brought to school. Please see the image below for more information.
Have a wonderful weekend!

From The Sandburg Student Services Team
Dear Carl Sandburg Families,
Each year Carl Sandburg participates in several programs that provide goods and services, such as holiday meals, holiday gifts, school supplies, clothing, etc. for families who are experiencing financial difficulties and/or family hardships. Carl Sandburg is making an effort to identify families who would benefit from these programs. If you would like to be considered for any assistance programs, we ask that you complete this Google Form by October 29, 2023. This information is confidential and will be shared only with school administration and school social workers.
Things to consider when deciding if you think you need assistance: your family receives free or reduced lunch, you have had a significant change in your finances that impact your family, you are experiencing a family hardship that makes it difficult for you to provide as you usually do for your family, your family is experiencing homelessness.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call Ms. Amy Chandler at 847-963-7875 or email at chandlea@ccsd15.net or Ms. Joanna Rzepka at 847-963-7850 or email at rzepkaj@ccsd15.net.
Also- Youth Outlook in Palatine is having a FALL Open House Drop-In Center for Trans & Non-Binary youth (ages 12-20). Family, Friends, and providers are all welcome! There will be food, games, and a tour. You will need to register by scanning the QR code or emailing transcendpalatine@youth-outlook.org. Please reach out to our Carl Sandburg Student Services or email us at transcendpalatine@youth-outlook.org if you have any questions."
Sincerely,
The Carl Sandburg Student Services Team
