Oki, Danit'ada, Âba wathtec, Tânisi, Taanishi, Bonjour, Hello, Sansom Community!
This weekend at Sansom:
The excitement is in the air at Clarence Sansom as our Sansom Prestigious Invitational Tournament (SPIT) takes over the school this weekend! Our hallways and gym are buzzing with energy as we welcome players and teams from other schools for two days of basketball, friendly competition, sportsmanship, and connection. It's wonderful to see students coming together, building friendships, and celebrating school spirit both on and off the court. Go Sansom!

Partners in Learning: Respectful, Ongoing & Effective Communication
Families should always feel welcome to reach out to the school. Communication about your child begins in the classroom by reaching out to the classroom teachers. This is the optimal way to connect about your child's schooling.
While it is most optimal to first reach out to the classroom teacher, Mr. Steed, Principal, Ms. Nguyen and Dr. Amanwi, Assistant Principals, are available to work collaboratively alongside teachers to support students and their families.
