Report Cards

Quarter 1 report cards will be sent home the week of November 16th.

Sandburg students with an NC or I in one of the 5 core courses, Reading, English, Math, Social Studies or Science, have until November 24th to complete and submit missing assignments in order to improve their grade.

For support check in with your teacher during WIN Wednesday office hours. Please email or send a Schoology message to a teacher when submitting missing assignments as Schoology will not automatically notify them submissions from the first quarter. The grade changes will be made in Infinite Campus based on the grading of the work submitted.
Update To Wednesday Schedule

SMS will shift our Wednesday schedule. Wednesdays continue to be a school day. Attendance in advisory class is still expected. 

The rest of Wednesdays are for WIN Time!
WIN Time means "What I Need."
