Welcome to Sandlapper!
On behalf of our incredible faculty and staff, we are thrilled to welcome you to Sandlapper Elementary! At Sandlapper, we believe in fostering a dynamic community of lifelong learners—where students, parents, teachers, staff, and community partners come together to inspire growth, curiosity, and success. It is an absolute honor to lead this extraordinary team, working alongside dedicated educators and amazing families to create an environment where every student shines.
Collaboration and reflection are at the heart of what we do. Our faculty is deeply committed to continuous learning, modeling the passion and perseverance we strive to instill in our students. Sandlapper is a place where every child is valued, challenged, and supported to reach their full potential. Through a strong collaborative culture, we are dedicated to making a meaningful and lasting impact on our students’ lives—preparing them to be well-rounded individuals ready to take on the future with confidence.
As a National Magnet Schools of America award-winning Computer Science Immersion Magnet School, we go beyond traditional learning to equip our students with essential skills for work, life, and citizenship. Our innovative curriculum integrates computer science and coding across all subject areas, empowering students to become creative problem-solvers, effective communicators, and collaborative thinkers with a global perspective. Through engaging, project-based learning, students explore the limitless possibilities of technology, and we proudly showcase their achievements during our three annual "StarCon" celebrations, where families and the community experience firsthand the incredible projects our students create.
We invite you to be an active part of this journey! Parent involvement is vital to our students’ success, and we encourage you to join our PTO, volunteer, and participate in our School Improvement Council meetings. Your engagement and support make a world of difference in our school community.
We are excited to partner with you and your family this year. Together, let’s Reach for the Stars!
Warmest regards,
Dr. Whitney Prowell, Principal
