🎉 Happy New Year, Sanford School Community! 🎉 First and foremost, I want to thank all the parents for entrusting us with your children. We are honored to play a role in their education and personal growth. As we gear up for the new semester, we want to remind everyone about our school policies, which can be found on our website at www.sanfordschools.org go to documents, then Junior/Senior High, and then finally down to student handbook. It's essential to stay informed to ensure a positive and productive school environment. 📱 Important Reminder: Cell Phone Policy Parents, we have noticed that many students are telling us their phones are at home, and that’s fantastic! However, please remember that our school policy states that no cell phones are allowed unless they are pouched. If a student is found in possession of a phone, the consequence is outlined in our student handbook. We truly appreciate the parental support we've received in implementing this new cell phone policy. Your cooperation has made a significant difference, and it has really been appreciated! This policy has brought a noticeable increase in positivity within our school system, allowing our teachers to engage more effectively with their students without distractions. 👕 Dress Code Reminder 👕 Additionally, we want to remind everyone about our dress code policy. Each student is required to maintain a neat, clean, and modest appearance. Let’s continue to show respect for ourselves and our school community through our attire. Attendance is the last point I want to address. Please review our attendance policy. We cannot educate a student who is absent. Here’s to a great year ahead filled with achievements and memorable moments! Sincerely, Mrs. Mandy Mortensen

Our SRO Rodney Noga, has asked us to alert our community of the following scam: Beware of Brushing Scam! A recent scam has been showing up in many states as we draw nearer to Christmas. We have some unconfirmed reports that some Chaffee County residents have already fallen victim. A “brushing" scam is when someone receives an unexpected gift or item not ordered in the mail from a place like Amazon or other company. Examples of gifts include, rings, bracelets, necklaces, Bluetooth speaker, etc. The gift will have the recipient’s address, but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift. Once the code is scanned, all the information from that phone will be sent to scammers. They receive all access to the phone. All personal and financial information is accessible to the scammers and often the victim's bank accounts are drained. The gift can be kept or thrown away, but the QR code should NOT be scanned for any reason. QR code scams are nothing new. Inform your family members about the scam and avoid scanning any unknown QR codes included in the package.
