• Students may NOT be dropped off in the morning before 7:10AM
  
• When dropping off please pull forward all the way just past the entrance to the school to the end of the awning by Officer Jourdain
  
• Please do your best to eliminate "long goodbyes" as this can create traffic backup!
  
• Please do not block busses at the end of the day. Once buses leave, we can begin parent pickup

Sanford Middle School will continue to provide a late bus for students staying after school for clubs, activities, sports, and other school-sponsored programs. The late bus will run on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and will leave Sanford Middle School at approximately 3:45 PM at the conclusion of after-school activities. Students should board the late bus by the Band Hallway. In addition, any student staying after school for a club, activity, sport, or other school-sponsored program will have access to our After-School Snack Program, provided through the Sanford Food & Nutrition Program.

We are excited to continue providing these opportunities and support to our students after the regular school day!!!

Happy New School Year! Just a quick note to get us into your email with a little info.

We had a great summer delivering bags to school meal sites and summer camps/summer school!

We are excited to be back in school and look forward to a great year of fighting youth hunger, erasing stigma around food insecurity, and being part of the Sanford School Community.
