Carl J. Lamb School

Free school supplies for Sanford students: The Stuff the Bus Backpack Distribution will be held Wednesday, August 24th from 5pm until 8 pm or while supplies last in front of Willard School. Please bring an index card with the child's name and grade written clearly on it. Children must be present to choose their own backpack. It is open to pre-k thru grade 12. Please encourage children to choose quickly, so as to keep the line moving smoothly. Please drive through the Willard School half circle in front of the building cautiously. Station A will be grade K thru 3, Station B will be Grade 4 thru 12. We look forward to seeing everyone next Wednesday.

Student Transportation: The bus company will post pick up times the week prior to school starting on the district website. If you have any questions regarding your pick up times or locations, please contact Ledgemere Transportation at 324-4888 directly. Please note that pick-up and drop-off times are approximations since we are adding Pre-K students to the routes. The first few weeks are when the bus drivers are finalizing their run times and adjusting to community traffic. It is good practice to have your child at the bus stop 5-10 minutes before pick-up time to avoid missing the bus. *We are experiencing a significant driver and monitor shortage as we begin the year. Families should prepare in the event transportation is out of service. Thank you!
