Each month, Sanborn Regional High School recognizes staff members who go “above and beyond” the call of duty to support students. This month, we received around twice the usual amount of nominees, a testament to all of your hard work as a school community. We did however need to choose only two winners, and with that we recognize the following individuals:

Jim Enright: Jim is passionate, intelligent, witty, and reliable as both a special educator and unofficial science teacher. Jim is an educator that motivates his students to think outside the box. He encourages his students and colleagues to ask questions about what they're curious about and then go on to learn how to make their visions possible. While we may not all share his love of mac-n-cheese covered hotdogs, we can appreciate his willingness to try any food put in front of him!

Heidi Leavitt: Heidi has put in a LOT of extra work this year...zigging and zagging through schedules, meetings, classrooms, court visits and food runs to make sure that nothing and nobody falls through the cracks...and all with a positive attitude and a disney tune in her head. Heidi is always thinking of others, she is the first person to give up her time to be there for students and staff. Always smiling and is a bright spot in the ¨dim light¨ of Covid.

Please make sure to give some socially distant praise and air-fives when you see them around, I know it is hard with masks but Jim will be the one with half a tie and Heidi with a disney artifact.

We are bringing back the extremely popular...

As we prepare to return to school on October 26, 2020, the bus companies are also making plans for the return of students. They need any family that is planning to have their child(ren) ride the bus this school year, either to or from school, to complete this form and give them the information they need to prepare safe rides for students. If you do not fill out this form, the bus company will assume your child is not taking the bus.

The district recognizes that some bus routes are longer than anticipated due to the limited seating restrictions created by COVID-19 protocols.

Once this survey data is complete we will adjust routes accordingly with the goal of reducing the amount of time our students spend on the bus.

School pictures will be on November 9. More information will be available as we get closer to the date. There will be opportunities for students who are both in person and remote to get pictures taken.

School pictures will be taken by Geskus this year.

Effective October 26, 2020:

Back by popular demand, our Points of PRIDE newsletters will soon be running senior spotlight articles to highlight members of our graduating class. These articles, written by staff members, will start in November.

In an effort to better control traffic at the beginning and end of the day, we ask all to abide by the following new traffic patterns for drop off and pick-up. We will have some Police officers and staff on hand on the first few days of school to assist all with learning the new "system."

Dear Families,

As a follow up to last weeks update...

The parent and student portal will be going live for grades 7-12 in October. Please note, that teachers have just received access to this new gradebook this week and have not been able to put in grades during that time.

Students in grades K-6 will have their portal going live in the second Trimester. You and/or your child(ren) will soon receive an email from Alma with information about how to set up your account and log into the portal.

If you have a student in grades 7-12 and have not received an Alma email by now, please contact Kevin Harrington at kharrington@sau17.net. You can also find a button to access Alma on our web site at sau17.net.
