Elementary Principal's Message Thanks to staff and parents for your help in preparing your child/children for the state testing (TCAP).  This is a critical check-point for our children.  It helps us as a district to review our curriculum and teaching practices according to the growth our students make in their learning.  We will also be NWEA testing for our end of year benchmark the weeks of May 7th – 17th.  K-3 students will also be given the DIBELS end of year tests.
News from Mr. Judd  Dear Parents/Guardians:
It seems spring has come early, and with it we are moving into the final quarter of the 2011-2012 school year. As I write this, our students are just completing their TCAP assessments for the year.  I am always pleased to hear a teacher's report that our students are giving it their best. We use the assessment results in a variety of ways, but our main focus is using them to better meet our students' needs.
Superintendent's Message! Dear Community, Recently I met a man who was traveling with a team of draft horses.  He was preparing to take a 5,000 mile journey that circled eleven of the western states.  The wagon his horses pulled was more of a modern RV on the inside with solar panels that rested on top of the wagon.  A few days later, he visited the school and shared some of his experiences and his horses with the elementary students. 
Welcome to Sanford The Sanford School District is committed to the strongest academic background possible for every student. We are dedicated to giving each student exposure in areas necessary to survive the 21st Century. As administration, faculty and parents, we TOGETHER will make an impact
