New for the 2023-2024 School Year
Deliveries and drop offs can be made in the front vestibule. Students will not be released from class to pick up deliveries but can check the table during passing period. The vestibule is not supervised and the office is not responsible for items on the dropoff table.
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.

Transportation
Student Drivers
Students are not allowed to drive and park at school unless they have a parking permit. Parking passes cost $95 for the 2023-2024 school year.
Reminders
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.
