Administrator's Corner

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back to another exciting school year at Sandy Run K-8! We hope you all had a restful and enjoyable summer break, filled with wonderful memories with your loved ones. As we embark on this new academic year, we are thrilled to share some of the exciting initiatives and instructional practices we will focus on to enhance our students' learning experiences.

We are fortunate to add many talented educators to our school staff. We have a new Assistant Principal, Russell Redford. You will find that he is dedicated to ensuring all of our students receive the best education possible. Please feel free to reach out to him. 

At Sandy Run K-8, our primary goal is to provide a high-quality education that meets the diverse needs of all our students. This year, we are placing a strong emphasis on innovative classroom instructional practices that are designed to engage students and promote deeper understanding.

One of our key focuses will be on **small group instruction**. This approach allows our dedicated teachers to tailor their teaching methods to the unique needs of each student. By working in smaller groups, students receive more personalized attention, enabling them to grasp concepts more effectively and participate actively in their learning journey.

Additionally, we are excited to incorporate **hands-on math activities** into our curriculum. Hands-on learning experiences are vital in helping students connect theoretical knowledge to real-world applications. Through interactive math lessons and practical activities, our students will develop a stronger foundation in mathematical concepts, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

We believe that these instructional practices will create a more dynamic and inclusive learning environment, where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Our dedicated teachers have been diligently preparing over the summer to implement these strategies and are eager to engage your children in meaningful and enriching educational experiences.

As partners in your child's education, your support and involvement are invaluable. We encourage you to stay connected with our school community through regular communication with your child’s teacher and participation in school events. Together, we can ensure that every student reaches their full potential.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to a year filled with growth, discovery, and success.

Warm regards,

Floyd Willis Dinkins, III
