SENIOR TIMELINE & IMPORTANT DATES

BACK TO SCHOOL SENIOR TRADITIONS

  • Sanderson seniors have many long-standing traditions. Some of the events are planned, executed & funded by our SHS Class of 2026 Senior Parent Booster Club. For information about these senior events, please visit our Senior Booster Activities page. You'll find information about the first day of school breakfast & caravan, t-shirt order form, and more.

  • DECORATING PARKING SPACES

    For those planning on decorating their parking space for the first day of school, please remember that we have a church that rents our campus on Sundays. The parking lot will be very crowded until around 3pm. Please plan to decorate on Saturday or after 3 on Sunday.

    Please note the following rules regarding decorating parking spaces from the Parking Regulations document: 

    1. No permanent painting of parking spots will be allowed. Violations of this rule are considered vandalism and are covered under WCPSS Policy 6420 I; Property Damage and will result in removal of paint at the registered users expense.

    2. Any permanent paint/designs on parking spots are to be removed by students or parents prior to April 6, 2026. Graduation tickets will be withheld until the parking space is clear.

SCHEDULE CHANGE INFORMATION

  • Attention Seniors applying to 4-yr colleges & wanting a schedule change:

    Most 4-yr. colleges take course rigor into consideration in admission decisions. Many colleges offer a decision of "waitlist" or "deferred". Colleges maintain expectations that senior year course rigor and academic performance will remain consistent or better than past semesters.  
    For example: UNC-Chapel Hill has released a statement for the spring semester instructing students who are making a schedule change and have already applied to Carolina to submit a schedule change form via their MyCarolina account. UNC emphasizes that "academic rigor is an important factor in our review, and we want to be sure that the coursework information we have from students is up-to-date." 
    Please take the above info into consideration before submitting a course correction request. Only requests that meet the conditions found here will be considered. Students are responsible for notifying their colleges of changes to their schedule.
