No Outside Deliveries
Due to unexpected disruptions throughout the school day, we have decided to make an adjustment in our procedures. We will no longer accept outside food deliveries, except when they are delivered by family members.
This decision was made to ensure the safety and security of the school environment as well as to minimize disruptions during instructional hours. We understand that it is always frustrating to change a procedure in the middle of the school year but appreciate your patience.
We kindly request your cooperation in adhering to this new procedure. If you have any questions please contact SHS at 815-786-2157.

Senior cap and gown order
If you missed the in-person order date for the cap and gown, jostens.com is where you can order your senior students' graduation package. As graduation draws near, the option to order online will be removed. If that occurs, you can place your order at 1-800-JOSTENS. Please be aware, gowns are custom made and take 6-8 weeks to create. Don’t delay if you have not ordered.

All visitors or venders who may need to go beyond the office are required to display a visitors’ badge during their stay and must provide a driver's license/state issued ID to be scanned in order to generate a name badge/ lanyard.Visitors must be escorted at all times while in the building.

If dropping off a student at Sandwich High School, students who are walking through the parking lot have the right away.
Just a reminder to students and parents, outside food deliveries must be left on the entry table in the front vestibule. Students will not be released from class for food deliveries.
Student drop off and pick up is at the back of the school (door #1).
Also, when a stop arm is out on a bus, it is illegal to pass it.
