Sandhill E-News
Week of 4/7/2025
A Message From Mr. Johnson:
Hello Sandhill Families,
We’ve had a great first week back after Spring Break and are excited to share a few highlights and updates:
-
This week, we began Wisconsin Forward Testing for some of our students. This is an important statewide assessment and serves as one of the key measures the state uses to evaluate our school’s academic performance. We appreciate your support in helping students get a good night’s sleep and come to school ready to do their best!
-
We also celebrated March’s positive behavior during our most recent Golden Stella Assembly! Congratulations to all of our students and classrooms for continuing to model respectful, responsible, and safe behavior.
-
We also hosted a door decorating competition! The theme? Each door had to be based on a book from our school’s curriculum. Our grade-level winners are listed below, and we’ve included some great photos to share the fun and creativity.
Thank you for your ongoing support, and have a wonderful weekend!
Best,
Bob / Mr. Johnson
