Dear Sand Lake Families,
It’s just about that time of year that many of us look forward too, summer! Hopefully, the weather will be great, fish will be plentiful, and we’ll all be able to get out and enjoy our time with family and friends.
Our Kindergarten students are ready for 1st grade, and our 5th graders are heading off to middle school. Our students have come a long way and have shown a lot of growth. Please encourage your children to take some time to read this summer, spending just a little time each day reading will help them keep the skills they’ve spent all year working on.
Thank you to those families that have already enrolled their children for next year, and I’d like to remind everyone else that online registration is open for returning students. Early registration helps us tremendously with planning for the upcoming school year.
The first day of school for students in grades 1 thru 5 will be on August 14th. Kindergarten students will start on August 21st.
There are many activities scheduled prior to the last day of school, and your continued assistance during these activities will be needed. Once again, we will be taking a proactive position with the last day of school, by not allowing backpacks at school, and all our teachers will have safety discussions with our students. We are looking forward to another year without any vandalism or harassment issues. As a reminder, students that choose to violate rules, or hurt others on the last day will be disciplined by the school.
Finally, I’d like to thank the Sand Lake Elementary School Community for all the support you have provided over the years. I’d especially like to thank all the staff members that have been part of the school, because these are the people that are working hard each day to make this a great school. As I move on, I’ll take with me many fond memories and friendships that I’ll never forget. Though I will not be here next year, I’ll continue to be an advocate for Sand Lake Elementary School.
If you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to contact us at

Sincerely,
Linson Thompson
Principal, Sand Lake Elementary
