I hope you all had a restful and relaxing vacation!

As we move into the second half of the year, a few important reminders.

Starting tomorrow: PickUp Patrol will now handle absences, tardies, and changes in dismissal.

Carpool Reminder: Please follow carpool rules and park in the designated rows. No cars should move until all children are in their vehicles. If you are parked next to the fence, do not make a U-turn to leave early.

If you haven’t yet completed our Equity Survey, please take a few moments to do so. We want to learn more about the Sanborn community and ways to improve. We’ve received many responses already but hope to hear from every family. The survey link is below!

As we continue through the year, we are reinforcing the importance of using appropriate tones and showing respect in all interactions.

Exciting additions! Starting the Monday after February vacation, we'll take absences, tardies, and changes in dismissal on Pick-Up Patrol. We will not be taking early dismissals; notify your teacher or office about early dismissals.

To promote equity and belonging, we invite families to participate in our Equity Survey. Your feedback will help us better understand the diverse needs of our school community and guide our work. The survey is anonymous and takes just a few minutes to complete.

We share in your excitement for your child to enroll in Kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year and look forward to them being a part of the Andover Public School community in September.
