Parking and Student Safety
The safety of every
child is the most
important concern of the
Sandburg Staff.
Returning parents to
Sandburg are well aware
of the parking issues,
especially in the
morning. Many of our
parents are accustomed
to parking their cars
and then walking their
student/s to class and
waiting with them on
campus until the start
of school. This
eliminates many parking
spaces for the parents
who must drop their
student/s off on their
way to work and creates
major safety hazards at
our crosswalk in the
front of school and at
the back gate. It also
provides opportunities
for those who might put
our students in harm's
way.
Except for Sandburg
staff, there is no
on-campus parking at
Sandburg Elementary.
Please park on the
streets surrounding the
campus and walk to meet
your children.
Rainy Days
If it is raining during
school hours we will not
lock the school parking
lot. Please be safe
when dropping off and
picking up your
children. Also, we will
not be opening the back
gate on rainy days due to the
unsafe conditions of the
back ramp area and water
on the field.
Because of our current budget
crisis, Sandburg is asking parents/guardians to
voluntarily supply (donate) their child with the
list of learning tools below. This is only on a
volunteer basis, so if you are unable to donate
these supplies, please notify your child’s teacher
the first week of school. This will allow the
teacher to have the time to get the needed
supplies for your child. Any items that are not
used by the classroom teacher will be placed in
our supply room for other teachers to use. We
thank you for your continuous support.
