Principal's Corner
Greetings from Principal Lori Lopez:
Welcome to Sandburg Elementary! As your new interim principal, I am thrilled to embark on a new school year with you. Whether this is your first year at Sandburg or you have been part of the community for several years, I look forward to partnering with you.
At Sandburg, our mission is to create the best possible conditions for students to learn and grow as global thinkers, high achievers, and inspired citizens who leave Sandburg prepared and inspired to achieve their dreams and contribute to the common good.
We live out our mission by maintaining high expectations and prioritizing rigorous, standards-aligned instruction. At Sandburg, we recognize that scholars come to us with various talents and abilities. We value this diversity and strive to create a sense of belonging for all our scholars. As a staff, we intentionally focus on creating spaces where scholars thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
At Sandburg, staff members are committed to partnering with families to accomplish great things for our scholars and community. We believe a strong home/school connection is vital to the success of our scholars. We appreciate the different ways each family can support our school and their children's learning. Feel free to contact us throughout the school year with questions, comments, compliments, or concerns. We value your input. On behalf of the Sandburg Elementary School staff, welcome you to the new school year!
