Sandlapper's Vision
Sandlapper will prepare every student academically, socially, and emotionally to be creative leaders in a global society.
Dear Sandlapper Families,
We had a fabulous week! Our Stars are really doing well and getting our procedures down. We have had a successful start to the year and would like to thank all of our families for making that possible!
A few reminders and updates:
1. Visitors will not be allowed to visit during morning arrival or dismissal times for the safety of all students on our campus. All students dropped off by parents during arrival will need to use the car rider line. Parents will no longer be able to walk students to the crosswalk or to the door. This is for the safety of all students and to assist with the efficiency of the car rider line. The line is getting faster every day! If you enter the line by 7:30, your student will be on time. Thank you to all the parents following this procedure. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience.
2. Please have students ready to exit the car once you pull up to the designated drop-off area. This helps facilitate the car rider line.
3. If your student is eating breakfast, he or she must arrive before 7:35 am to have enough time to eat and get to class by 7:40 am. Our day begins promptly at 7:40 am.
4. All car riders should be picked up no later than 2:55 pm. Our car line is moving more smoothly each day. Thank you for your patience and for following our procedures to help make this process smooth and safe for everyone!
5. If you have not completed a meal application, please do so as soon as possible. Students will be charged for eating meals (breakfast and lunch) if you don't qualify through a meal application for free or reduced-priced meals. Here is the link for the meal application.
At Sandlapper, all students are bright, shining Stars! Thank you parents for helping to make arrival so incredible! We truly appreciate your continued support! Have a wonderful afternoon and we will see you on Tuesday!

Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday of September annually. The day celebrates the American labor movement and the contributions and achievements of the American worker. In the United States, Labor Day is the three day weekend ending the summer season. Sandlapper will be closed on Monday, September 5, 2022.
Welcome Back, STAR READERS!
Congratulations to Ms. Williams’ 1st grader,
Walter F. for returning his Summer Reading Checklist! Mrs. Ussery gave him a copy of a new book and a Tootsie Roll Pop to celebrate. 😀
All of our K-5th grades have visited the library already at least once. Library Orientation included the importance of book care responsibilities. A photo was taken of each class with their first book check-out of the year after they stated, “I Promise” to the following 3 statements:
1.Read It 2. Take Care of It 3. Return It.
K-2 may have one book out at a time. Grades 3-5 may have 2 out at a time. However, special circumstances can adjust this procedure with parent or teacher requests at Mrs. Ussery’s discretion.
We hope you all have a wonderful year full of pleasure reading together with family and friends! Please feel free to use our Sandlapper Media Center Website anytime for wonderful resources and information, along with access to our Online Catalog (select Sandlapper and login using your computer username and password.)

All Richland Two students are assessed a non-refundable $20 technology insurance fee to cover the cost of technology repairs. The technology fee plan provides 100% repair cost coverage for the first instance of accidental damage to the student’s school-assigned computing device. The plan also covers the cost of device replacement in the event of theft, provided a police report is filed.
The cost of repeat instances of device damage will be assessed according to the full cost of repair. The deadline to pay the technology insurance fee is September 30th of each school year. The technology insurance fee cannot be paid after September 30th. The coverage period for technology insurance begins as soon as the premium is paid in full, which must be done no later than the September 30th deadline, and runs through September 30th of the following year. The full details of the technology fee plan are published in the technology insurance fee documentation available on Sandlapper's website.
