Principal's Message
Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year!
Sandhills Elementary School is a safe, fun place where our minds and bodies grow! Our dedicated staff is committed to delivering high-quality education and meaningful learning experiences for every student.
We are proud of the incredible progress our students make each year—especially in reading, writing, and math. Our commitment to academic excellence was recently recognized when Sandhills Elementary received the Fort Vermilion School Division Numeracy Award for outstanding student growth in numeracy during the 2024–2025 school year. We know that strong foundations in literacy and numeracy during the early years are essential for lifelong learning and success.
Our school community includes approximately 360 students and 42 staff members. We offer one Pre-Kindergarten class, five Kindergarten classes, five Grade 1 classes, four Grade 2 classes, and four Grade 3 classes. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in their learning, and we support this through targeted programming and interventions in literacy and numeracy.
At Sandhills Elementary School, we have a hard-working, caring and fun staff team that works together with a clear focus on student success. We value strong relationships with families and invite you to connect with us—whether by visiting, calling, or emailing.
On behalf of the entire Sandhills staff, I wish you a memorable and rewarding school year filled with curiosity, growth, and new opportunities!
Warm regards,
Wendy Morris
Principal, Sandhills Elementary School
