Celebrate| Sansom Prestigious Invitational Tournament

Wow! I was very impressed by our athletes, coaches, leadership students, positive fans, and entire Sansom staff at this weekend’s basketball tournament. A big thank you to the talented Mr. Burke, PE crew, School Council, parent contributors and all of the teacher volunteers who came out to support. It was also awesome to see Mr. Brown who made a special appearance Friday night! Go Scorpions!

Request| Return Vaccination Forms

Completed forms must be returned to the school no later than Wednesday November 15, 2023 as Vaccinations are on Nov 21th.

Inform| Remembrance Day Assembly

Clarence Sansom School will hold two Remembrance Day assemblies on November 8th, 2023. If you are interested in knowing more about our assemblies, please contact the main office.

Inform| Transportation Delays

During the winter, roads may also be congested and slippery resulting in possible traffic and bus delays. Unusually cold or stormy weather can result in buses being delayed. Unexpected mechanical problems with the bus may also occur more frequently at this time of year. Children should be dressed appropriately for the colder weather as buses cool off very quickly. While we are working with our transportation providers for solutions, the snow and colder weather will make getting to and from school more challenging.

CBE Transportation does not adjust routes or bus stops due to weather conditions.

There are a variety of ways transportation providers provide real time route information for families.

Note | In times when they are extremely busy, all service provider staff are dedicated to driving buses and they are not always able to accommodate this service.

Reminder| Traffic Safety

Ensuring our students get to school safely is everyone’s responsibility. Please be mindful of crosswalks, parking rules and speed limits when you are near our school, especially during the morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal times.

We have requested support from CPS and The Parking Authority to help enforce the No Parking Zone in front of the school, which is a bus zone. They will also ticket pedestrians for jaywalking and for cars speeding or making illegal maneuvers (ex. U-turns). Cars parked in the No Parking Zone may be issued a fine. Please be you are doing your part in making the school and our students safe.
