Sand Lake Families:
It was so great to see each of you and our students throughout the month of August for Picture/Registration Day and Open House! We hope that you found Sand Lake to be a welcoming place and are so excited for our adventures ahead this school year!
Contained within this newsletter, you’ll find some updates, dates, and information needed to start the school year. Our school office will send this newsletter on a regular basis so that you are aware of key events and information happening at Sand Lake. As with past school years, timely information will still come through in individual eblasts. If at any point in the school year, you are concerned that you aren’t receiving this communication, please reach out to Melissa Lacasse at lacmel@holmen.k12.wi.us
In Partnership,
Matt Meyers
Kindergarten Families
Kindergarten families, please note that your child will have an introductory conference with their teacher on August 26th. Your scheduled orientation time was given to you on picture day and at registration a reminder was provided. Please reach out to your teacher if you have any questions.
1st-5th Grade Students
The Board of Education for the School District of Holmen has officially established Monday, August 26th as the first day of school. The school day at Sand Lake is from 8:40-3:40. We are so excited to begin school after the weekend!
Drop-Off/Pick-Up
Students can be dropped off at school as soon as 8:10 when our staff is available to supervise. When students are dropped off, they can either go into school and eat breakfast or play outside with staff supervision.
The school day officially ends at 3:40. Please know that we’ll take great care when dismissing students to ensure that everyone is on the right bus or following their designated after school plan. We will only alter student’s after school transportation plans if we hear directly from their parents. That means you should contact the office and your child’s teacher if the plan changes during the day. Also, as routines are being established and we take time to get students where they belong at the end of the day, it may take a few extra minutes to get our buses on the road at the beginning of the year.
Connection with Caregivers
Communication between home and school is essential for student success. In addition to newsletters, grade level communication, assignment notebooks, meetings, e-mails, and telephone conversations, the Sand Lake staff is extending to you a year-long invitation to visit the school. This may include attending student programs, eating lunch with your child(ren), and/or volunteering. Your partnership in the educational process is extremely valuable.
Support Available
There are a variety of opportunities through the Sand Lake Kidz Kloset or community programs in the event that you need assistance with school supplies, clothing, or other needs for your students. Please contact our school office, our school counselor, Haley Lamprecht (lamhal@holmen.k12.wi.us), or our school social worker, Erin Noll (noleri@holmen.k12.wi.us), if you need assistance at any time.
Transportation Updates
This summer, our transportation department emailed your child’s bus route and information to you. If you have any questions about your child’s transportation, we encourage you to contact the transportation department at 608-526-4752. If you have any questions about transportation safety procedures at Sand Lake, please contact the main office at 608-781-0974.
Sand Lake families who are dropping off and picking up students at school, please be aware that more Sand Lake students will be walking to school. Please drive safe, stay alert, and follow posted signage and instructions from our staff who supervise the parking lot.
Introducing (most of) our 2024-2025 Sand Lake Staff!
