PARKING LOT CLOSED REMINDER
We are a WALKING SCHOOL. This means there is to be no vehicle traffic on school property at the beginning and end of each school day. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this as it ensures the safety of our students. If you need more information on where the various walking paths are, and/or the designated areas for parking on neighboring side streets, connect with other Sandhills families or read this pamphlet. We kindly ask that when parking on side streets you are mindful of where you are parking and that you do not block driveways. Adhering to this fosters positive relationships with members of our community.
It is very important that you do not move the pylons and come into the parking lot. Staff, vehicles with a Handicap parking pass, or permission has been given via the office are the only vehicles permitted in the parking lot. We have limited spots for staff and student safety is our number one priority. Cars coming in and out of the parking lot puts our students’ safety at risk. Finally please do not use the bus loop either for drop off or pick up. We have multiple student transportation vehicles arriving at different times which need to use this area.
Sandhills SCIS – Technology Family Support Livestream
Thank you to everyone who attended our livestream: Having Healthy Conversations with Children about Technology and Online Behaviour. If you missed the livestream you can watch the recording here. Here is a copy of the slideshow which has additional information and resources like conversation starters, curious questions, and community supports.
We will be having a follow up session with Melissa Fellin from Bloom: Child and Family Therapy, in Waterloo, on March 24, 2022, at 7:30 pm. Here is the link to attend part 2 of the series. If you have any follow up questions or topics you would like covered please complete this form, which is completely confidential and anonymous.
APPOINTMENTS
We ask that you please try to coordinate pick up times for appointments with nutrition breaks to minimize the amount of time you are waiting for your student. When students are already outside, it may take some time to locate them and have them gather their items which then results in you having to wait. Thanks in advance for your help!
COVID SCREENING
We ask that all our families please continue to complete the Covid-19 School Screener https://covid-19.ontario.ca/school-screening/ every morning before coming to school, no further action is needed at this time.
PIZZA DAYS
Pizza days are back and will begin on Wednesday March 23rd at 2nd Nutrition break. The deadline has already passed for this year and we hope that Pizza days will return in September.
TUCK SHOP TUESDAY & THURSDAY
Tuck Shop has been very popular in previous years so we have decided to bring it back. Sales are during the 2nd nutrition break every Tuesday and Thursday. Cash only please.

Big Thank-You….
We would like to give a big shout out to all our Students and their Families for doing such a great job with helping us to follow all the Public Health guidelines related to COVID-19. From wearing masks, practicing hand hygiene, social distancing, and using the COVID School Screening Tool everyday, we just can’t thank you enough for your support and cooperation.
