No School 10/9/20 or 10/12/20: 
This is just a reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow, Friday, October 9th, due to it being a Teacher Workshop Day and no school on Monday, October 12th,  in observance of Indigenous Peoples' Day.  We hope that you enjoy this long weekend with your families.  Our full school calendar is on our website www.sanford.org.   We also have a district calendar of events  on our website that we update.  We keep our news section, live feed, and events sections updated regularly also.  Please check the Sanford School Department and the Carl J. Lamb School regularly FMI.   There is an app that syncs to this website called Sanford Schools (the one with our Spartan helmet logo) available for free on your cell phone or tablet.  

NWEA Testing Window 10/13-30/2020: 
Beginning Oct. 13th through October 30th, CJL students will be taking their NWEA tests (also known as MAP tests).  Each grade level will take one reading and one math test.  Your child's teacher will let you know which exact two days in this window that he/she will be tested.  It is important that your child come to school well rested, have a healthy breakfast either at home or school, and that they bring a healthy snack and water bottle to school.  Our curriculum director has written a letter regarding MAP testing that I have asked individual teachers to send home to you in your child's homework folder.  If your child is a full distance learner, you will receive information from Beth Lambert regarding NWEAs via email.
