Families …
Thank you for your support as we continue to manage COVID 19 in our school buildings. In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we have been working closely with the Maine Department of Education to implement a free COVID-19 pooled testing program for our students and staff. Sanford Pride Elementary will begin testing on Tuesday, 9-28. For more information and to register click here.
To prepare your child, we recommend watching this short video with your child. Our staff will also explain the process to students prior to testing and walk them through the testing process.
Sanford Pride Elementary is happy to announce that starting September 13, 2021, we will be bringing back the Snack Milk program once a day to K-4th. Your child(ren) will be offered chocolate, low-fat white and skim or orange juice for $.50. You are more than welcome to send money on a daily or weekly basis. MySchoolBucks is also accepted. Please let your child(ren)’s teacher know if you plan on participating in the Snack Milk program so that kitchen staff can plan accordingly.
Good afternoon, Pride families! Unfortunately the PTA Block Party that was scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, September 10th has had to be cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience. Have a good evening.
Good morning, Sanford Pride families! We are already in the middle of our second week of school- can you believe it?!? This is just a reminder that today will be our first Early Release Wednesday. Dismissals will begin one hour earlier than the other days (at 1:55). Busses will be at their stops an hour earlier as well. Please plan accordingly. Have a great day!
Good afternoon, Sanford Pride Elementary families! This is a reminder that there will be no Early Release this Wednesday. Early Release Wednesdays will begin on September 8th. Students will be dismissed one hour early on Wednesdays starting next week. Thank you!
Good morning, Pride Parents! For the safety of your children, we have the following information and reminders:
1. Parent drop-offs BEFORE 8:30 MUST happen in the lower parking lot.
2. The drop-off lane in the front of the school is reserved for BUSSES ONLY until 8:30.
3. Parent drop-offs happening AFTER 8:30 MUST happen in the front of the school so that students can get checked in by the office and taken off any absence lists if needed.
4. Parent pick-ups at the end of the day MUST happen in the lower parking lot.
5. Parent pick-ups during school hours MUST happen in the front of the school so that students can be marked accordingly.
Additionally and for TODAY ONLY: all parents who are new to Willard/Pride should plan to arrive at 2:45 in the lower parking lot WITH THEIR IDs in an effort to get familiar with our new parents who plan to pick students up on a regular basis.
