Sandwich High School, learning today, shaping tomorrow.
Welcome
I would like to wish each of you a Happy Thanksgiving. My hope for each family is that you have time to rest and relax with people you enjoy. As I am sure you are aware, Monday and Tuesday are non-attendance days for students and Parent Teacher Conferences for parents/guardians and staff. Conferences can be scheduled at PTCWizard.com and you can reach out to your students' teachers if you have questions that don’t require a conference. As always, if there is anything my office can help with, please call.

Lunch Initiative
Please help continue with our initiative that allows students to bring in item(s) that are sealed for the cafeteria. The items can not be opened and the item(s) will be put in a bin to allow other students to grab the item(s) for free. The purpose of this initiative is for students who may not have the financial means to get additional food items other than a typical lunch. All donated, sealed items can be dropped off in the main office.
Free and Reduced Breakfast/Lunch
The carry over period for students who were receiving free/reduced lunch for the 2022-2023 school year ended on September 27, 2023. If a new 2023-2024 application was not received your child was automatically put on paid breakfast and lunch effective September 28, 2023.

New Safety Procedure
Sandwich High School values a safe educational environment for our staff and students. Sandwich High School has a great opportunity to pilot a new process when visitors come to the main office. No persons other than the parent/guardian, parent designee, legal guardian, government officials, those pursuant to warrant or subpoena, or school personnel will have permission to see a student during school hours without being verified by showing a drivers license/state issued ID.
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.
Communication from the High School
Sandwich High School will generally email a bi-monthly newsletter. The purpose of this communication will be to highlight the latest things going on at school while also keeping you up to date on future events.
