Dear Wildcat Community,

I have included a few updates in this newsletter for families.

1st Quarter Progress Reports: All 1st quarter progress report cards are viewable on Infinite Campus in the Parent Portal are available on Infinite Campus. We are two weeks into the 2nd quarter.
Kudos to our Musical Groups: Congratulations to our Wildcat musicians! We enjoyed the first Band, Jazz Band, Chorus, and Handbell Choir Concert of the school year in November. Sincere thanks to Mrs. Kurka and Mr. Photopoulos for their hard work in preparing our musicians for these performances. We look forward to our upcoming Orchestra concert on December 9th.
Academic Support at Sandburg: We have opportunities for academic support at Sandburg! This week, we started our math support after school. See the image below for more information. Twice a week, we offer lunch time study hall for students who would like a quiet place to work in a classroom during the lunch period. Our students participating in the Multi-lingual program have an opportunity for after school language support that is led by two of our Multilingual teachers.
Yearbooks: Our annual Sandburg yearbook is now on sale. All ordering is online and the cost is $16.00. ybpay.com Code: 14798525 The deadline for ordering is March 21st.
Support from our Student Services Team: Our Outreach For Assistance Form is for you to fill out if your family is in need of assistance. Please feel free to reach out to our CSMS clinician team with any questions. Our students have access to a form to discreetly request assistance from a clinician while in school, as well.

We look forward to welcoming your students back to school tomorrow!
