Please remind your children that you want them to bring home all of their snow clothes, boots, hats, mittens etc. We hope to see you join us at our Ice Fishing Derby this Saturday morning at Number One Pond in Sanford! Have a great evening!

Good afternoon. Starting tomorrow, Sanford's elementary schools will be going back to our original procedures of keeping elementary tech devices at school like we used to.

I'm sorry, for some reason the flyer didn't appear in the last post on our live feed for the ice fishing derby. If you open our Sanford School Department app and click on the news section, I will add it there momentarily. Classroom teachers will also be sharing it with you. Thanks to the parents who communicated this with me.

Save the date! Attached is our flyer for an upcoming Ice Fishing Derby brought to you by Sanford Parks & Rec, Kittery Trading Post, and the CJL PTA! We hope to see you there for ice fishing, games, raffles, prizes, food, ice skating, sledding, a photo booth, music, and tons of fun!

Attention CJL Parents, Guardians, and Staff, Please refrain from parking on the hill leading up to our upper parking lot. Please use only designated parking spaces for safety reasons. Thank you for your cooperation!

Tomorrow's lunch (Tues. Jan. 11th) will be changed from Chicken Alfredo to Macaroni and Cheese.

Hi CJL Families, Sanford's elementary schools will begin to send electronic devices home with children starting Tue. Jan. 11th (iPads Grades K-2, Chromebooks Grades 3 & 4). Devices will travel back and forth between home and school everyday as they will continue to be used at school regularly to support in person instruction. Student devices are only permitted to be used for teacher approved school purposes by the student to whom it is assigned. Devices should remain in the backpack unless we go remote or it needs to be charged and then re-packed. This is an effort to be ready in the possible event that we have to move to remote instruction. That being said, we are hopeful to remain with our in person learning model. Contact your child's teacher with questions. Thank you for doing your part to follow COVID safety guidelines which helps keep our students in school! Sherri Baron CJL Principal

​Good afternoon CJL Families, Linked below is our newsletter for this coming school week which includes information about student devices (K-4) beginning to come home on Tuesday, so to be ready in the possible event that we go remote. It also includes a short, yet valuable video to help parents keep their children focused while reading at home. It's from the Teachers' College Reading and Writing Project (the creators of our reading, writing, and phonics curriculum). Feel like you're missing news, updates, snow day information, bus information, and more? Maybe you haven't yet downloaded and begun using our app yet? There's a link to that and much more in this week's newsletter as well. https://5il.co/13zqp Enjoy your snow day! Sherri Baron CJL Principal

Good morning CJL! This is a friendly reminder that this morning is Mugs & Muffins! Enjoy a great breakfast!

Increasing Safety at Morning Drop Off: Hi CJL Families, When dropping students off in the morning, please only let them out of the car at one of the three designated drop off spots marked by signs using the passenger doors only. Please keep this line of traffic moving as quickly as possible. Should your child need longer to get ready to exit the vehicle, please pull into a parking spot and accompany them to the crossing guard when they're ready. It can be difficult for parents when they are trying to leave the parking spots if blocked by the quick morning drop off line, particularly the handicapped spaces. So please, do your best to let people out safely if you can. We appreciate your attention to these matters. Safety is our priority! Have a good evening!
