Scooters of Sandwich has created a unique energy shot specifically for Sandwich High School. For the month of November Scooters will donate a dollar back to the high school each time someone mentions that they want to support Sandwich High School by ordering the Indians Energy Infusion. Please think of us when you visit Scooters next.

Monday November 25 and Tuesday November 26, will be Parent Teacher Conferences at SHS. If you would like to schedule a conference with one or all of your student’s teachers you can do so here. You may make appointments with as many or as few teachers as you wish. Please understand that we built in a 5-minute transition between conferences to keep our teachers on schedule. Also, for those new to this process, all conferences are held in the teachers classrooms.

PTCWizard how-to

Keep in mind that, in some instances, ten minute conferences are not adequate. If you find yourself in that situation, you may make an appointment with that teacher for a follow-up conference or a phone conference at a later date. If one of the teachers has a full schedule, you may contact the teacher through email and arrange a time to talk about your child’s progress in a particular class.

If you require a translator, please indicate this when scheduling your appointment. If you do not have someone to translate for you, Sandwich High School can make arrangements to have a translator present.

Progress Reports have been finalized. Below are directions so you may access them. If you have any questions regarding your student’s grades please feel free to contact the teacher. Directions are below

Sandwich High School values a safe educational environment for our staff and students. 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.

• 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.

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.

Students are not allowed to drive and park at school unless they have a parking permit. Parking passes cost $95 for the 2024-2025 school year.

The parking lot will be monitored for any cars parked without a school purchased tag in the window. Students parking without a parking permit will be assessed a fee.

If dropping off a student at Sandwich High School, students who are walking through the parking lot have the right away.

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. Click here for information.

While phones and book bags are permitted at SHS, each teacher has a unique classroom management system. Phones and book bags in the classroom will be at the discretion of the individual teacher.
