Thank you to all who have brought in Kleenex. I can assure you they have been put to good use. If you are out and are so inclined to buy some Kleenex, we could use more donations! Spring allergy season is upon us! Thank you!!

3rd Quarter Academic Recognition
The Sandburg Staff are proud to recognize many Wildcats for a tremendous start to the 2023-2024 school year. We have a bulletin board in the main hallway to recognize students for their work in the 3rd quarter.
We recognized 7th and 8th grade students with the Wildcat of the Quarter award. These students demonstrated citizenship, hard work, leadership, great improvement, scholarship and creativity.
We recognized 7th and 8th grade students with the "One of Us" award. These students demonstrated the ability to make the classroom a better place. They bring positive energy, are creative, and share their unique gifts with the CS community.
We recognized 7th and 8th grade students with the "Level Up" award. These students demonstrated an improvement in any of the following categories: citizenship, hard work, work completion, leadership, positive choices, or effort.
Additionally, we have identified the students who have earned the following academic recognition during the 2nd quarter.
Principal's Award (4.0 GPA)
High Honors (3.75-3.9 GPA)
Honor Roll (3.5-3.74 GPA)
Overall, we are SO PROUD of the great work our students have done in the 3rd quarter! Keep it up, Wildcats!

Reminder - Registration for 2024-2025 School Year
Online student registration for the 2024-2025 school year is now open. The year ahead brings many new and exciting initiatives to District 15! One such something new is that this is the first year we will offer FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN for every student. Additionally, many of our schools are undergoing construction which will be completed for the upcoming school year, AND our 6th graders will join their adolescent peers in our newly restructured middle schools.
The first day of school for the 2024-2025 school year is Thursday, September 5 for grades 1-8 and Friday, September 6 for kindergarten and early childhood students.
Please visit our registration page to begin registering your child(ren) for school. Doing so helps us solidify staffing for our schools, allows your child(ren) to be placed on a class list, and allows your child(ren) to ride a bus to and from school. Registration MUST be completed and student fees must be paid by July 1, 2024. With close to 12,000 students to place in a classroom and on bus routes, we ask that you please do your part and register on or before July 1.
