Sandalwood Elementary Newsletter
January 2023
From the Admin Team
Happy New Year! As we begin the year 2023, let’s start out strong. This is a reminder that our school day is from 8:30am-3:30pm. Please be certain that students come to school every day as they need to be in school to learn. This month is especially important as students will take their Winter MAP assessment to evaluate student progress from the beginning of the year. During the month of January, we have the end of the second marking period. If you have any questions about your child’s grades, please reach out to their teacher and be certain you are accessing Schoology to monitor student progress. We have an exciting event “Winter Wonderland” taking place in the evening on January 19th. We can’t wait to see everyone there!
