Sand Lake Elementary News: December 2025

From the Principal: Mr. Meyers

Sand Lake Families:

This time of year allows us to reflect on the wonderful things that we have accomplished so far at Sand Lake. Therefore, we wanted to highlight the amazing achievements of our students, staff, and families with our recent Wisconsin DPI School Report Card. Our school received a 73.8, formally classified as Exceeds Expectations. This is the result of our teams reviewing data, implementing universal and intervention plans, and our students rising to the occasion. Notably, our 5.4 point growth was exceptional from one year to the next and the result of tons of hard work! Thank you for all that you do to support your children.

Over the course of the next month, there will be several celebrations and events happening within our school. We kick off the festivities this week with our 2nd and 4th grade concerts taking place on Thursday, December 4th. It is always a great way for friends and families to come together and enjoy the hard work our students put into these performances!

While December is a busy time for everyone, we hope that you each find time to enjoy the season. On behalf of the office staff at Sand Lake, we send you warm holiday wishes!

In Partnership,

Matt Meyers

Our holiday programs are quickly approaching. Here are the details:

Since we are hosting two concerts this year on December 4th, please be aware of your arrival time and that there may be parking constraints. Additional parking is available at Coulee Life Church, which is located next to Sand Lake Elementary.

We can’t wait to share our holiday spirit with all of you!

From the Sand Lake PTG:

Sand Lake PTG is busy taking in applications from teachers and staff for mini-grants - these are ways that we can directly impact and support the needs your classrooms have as a result of your fundraising efforts! We will share all those amazing experiences in the coming months.

Additionally, we'll be looking to build more community with a McDonald's night in January. More information will be heading your way soon!

If anyone would like to help with this or anything we do, please join us at our next meeting on January 5, 2026, at 5:30 pm in the Sand Lake Elementary conference room.
