  1. Are you moving?

We are busy preparing for next year.  If you are moving and your child will no longer attend Sandhills, please send a note to the school office to let us know the final date of expected attendance at Sandhills and the name of the school you will be transferring to.  You will need to register at the school you will be attending.  Registration forms may be picked up in the office.

 

  1. Volunteers Needed

Many hands make light work.  The Sandhills School Council is looking for volunteers to help water trees this summer.  Please contact Della Sousa at della_sousa@wrdsb.on.ca with the week you would be interested in volunteering for.  Helpers are needed each week beginning July 4th.  All necessary equipment and instructions will be provided.
