Sandwich High School, learning today, shaping tomorrow.
Welcome
Core Values at Sandwich High School
This year we will be focusing on Sandwich 430’s Core Values: Growth Mindset, Responsibility, Respect, Collaboration, Empathy, Integrity and Citizenship. Each month we will emphasize a different value throughout the school year. The month of November we will be focusing on responsibility. Having responsibility means that the students are dependable, keeping promises, and honoring their commitments. We will be encouraging the students to be prepared, reliable and accountable.

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.
Drop Off for Students
Only parents/guardians can deliver lunch for their child.
Students will not be called out of class to pick up their delivery.
All deliveries from parents should be labeled and left on the table in the foyer where their child can pick it up during the next passing period.
No deliveries will be allowed from anyone other than a parent/guardian.
Communication from the High School
Sandwich High School will generally email a 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.
