A Message from our Principal

Dear Sand Lake Elementary School Community,

We are off to a fantastic start to the second semester, and it has been wonderful to see our students return with such positive energy, curiosity, and excitement for learning. Thank you for your continued partnership and support, as it truly makes Sand Lake a special place to learn and grow.

One of the highlights of the semester so far has been hosting our Chitose Exchange Students from Japan. This meaningful cultural exchange has provided our students with a unique opportunity to build global connections, practice cultural awareness, and celebrate the values of our Japanese Immersion program. The joy and learning shared during this visit have been inspiring to witness.

We are also excited to have launched ice skating for our 2nd–5th grade students. This experience has been a fun and engaging way for students to build confidence, teamwork, and physical skills outside of the classroom. A big thank you to our PTSA and volunteers who helped make this opportunity possible.

As a friendly reminder, all volunteers and chaperones must be approved through the Anchorage School District every school year. Even if you have volunteered in the past, annual approval is required to ensure student safety. We truly appreciate the time and support our volunteers provide and thank you for completing this important step.

To stay up to date with the amazing things happening at Sand Lake Elementary, be sure to follow us on Facebook. We regularly share highlights, celebrations, and important updates from our school community.

Thank you for being such an incredible part of Sand Lake Elementary. We look forward to a strong and successful second semester together.

With Much Gratitude,

Mr. Barr

Principal of Sand Lake Elementary

ASD 2025-2026 Online Volunteer Application and Waiver

All volunteers (includes chaperones, drivers, and partner organizations) must complete a volunteer application and sign a liability waiver each school year. This requirement ensures that the District has the most up-to-date information on those volunteering.

Applications for the new school year can be submitted as early as July 1, before every school year.

The approval or denial will be provided starting the first day of school. After this point, decisions will be made within seven business days.
