Welcome To Sandpoint Middle School!

Bullpup Families,
Our Office is now open for business for the year. We'll be here from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for Memorial Day, right up to the first day of school. Stop on by and see us!
We're jumping into this exciting year of building -- both a refreshed school and young minds -- with full hearts and lots of excitement! I hope you're squeezing out the last drops of summer and slowly turning your attention toward a successful school year launch, too.
One key bit of information as you may be back-to-school shopping: students will not have lockers this year. During the remodel, classrooms will be shifting at times and some of the lockers have already been removed. Please provide your student with a backpack. We are in the process of creating a storage space for bulky items that can't be carried from class to class.
Important Dates
September 1: Open House from 4 to 6 p.m.
