Sand Point Squirrel Spotlight
Week of Monday, October 20
Principal's Message
What a meaningful and productive week we’ve had at Sand Point! Most of our students completed their first round of MAP testing, providing us with a valuable baseline to understand where each learner is starting this year. This information helps teachers tailor instruction so every Squirrel can grow, stretch, and shine in their learning.
As we continue building strong routines, I want to emphasize the importance of on-time attendance. Our day begins at 7:55 a.m., and missing even one day of school can take a student up to three days to catch up on learning and classroom connections. Your partnership in getting students to school on time truly makes a difference.
Please also be on the lookout for Conference Sign-Ups coming soon. These family conferences are an essential part of our Sand Point learning community—an opportunity for us to share academic progress, celebrate strengths, and partner together on ways to support positive growth at home.
And now, the excitement is building…
On Friday, October 24 – rain or shine! we’ll host our beloved Move-A-Thon! In 20 minutes, our Squirrels will run, jog, walk, or roll as many laps as they can around the playground—moving with energy, determination, and school pride. Prior to the event, students are invited to collect pledges from family, friends, and neighbors to help raise funds for our amazing school.
Every cent counts, and every act of support strengthens our Sand Point community. Donate now on Givebacks! We can’t wait to see a sea of Squirrels moving with joy and HOPE.
Thank you for your partnership, your presence, and your belief in our students. Together, we are moving forward... one step, one lap, one act of hope at a time.
With appreciation,
Dr. Stephanie Zikopoulos
Principal, Sand Point Elementary
