Sandburg News

Dear Parents, Teachers and Staff:

As we begin construction projects in any school, it is standard practice to take all of the necessary precautions for safety.  

We wanted to inform you that, beginning March 28, 2023, until June 30, 2023, Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 has authorized Kinsale Contracting Group of Westmont, Illinois to begin the abatement process at Sandburg Middle School in preparation for work to begin during Spring Break.

Environmental Analysis Inc. will closely monitor the abatement work. Monitoring of the air in and adjacent to the work areas will be conducted during the performance of these operations.  All work will be performed outside of school hours when students are not in the building. 

We appreciate your patience throughout the scheduled project dates while we complete these activities to ensure a safe and controlled working environment.  If you have questions, please reach out to me.

Sincerely,

Todd Schmidt, 

Director of Facilities

Dear parents,
Happy beginning of Spring Break! We are wrapping up our week with a PBIS assembly this afternoon beginning at 2:00 pm. Thanks to Mrs. Wiora for coordinating all this. Students and staff are participating in Minute to Win it games. It is going to be so much fun and a great sendoff to begin our spring break.

School resumes on Monday, April 3 at 8:00 am for 5th grade, 8:30 am for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.

Tuesday, April 4, Sandburg will be a polling place. Voters may park in the front parking lot and can enter door 2 (which is the auditorium entrance). No one will be allowed to enter or exit through any other doors. Please be aware of possible traffic issues and slower than normal traffic in the morning drop off.

Wishing you a safe, healthy, and happy spring break. See you all in April.

Respectfully,
Linda Fehrenbacher, Principal
