Welcome to the Sandridge Special Education Webpage

We at Sandridge Elementary seek to create a challenging learning environment that encourages high expectations for student success through development-appropriate instruction that allows for individual differences and learning styles.  Sandridge Elementary promotes a safe, orderly, caring, and supportive environment. Each student's self-esteem is fostered by positive relationships with students and staff.

We dare to use innovative techniques to enhance life-long learning through technology, the multiple intelligences, varied instructional strategies, and interdisciplinary units.

We strive to have our parents, teachers, and community members actively involved on our students' learning.

If at any time you have questions or concerns about the Special Education assistance your child is receiving or about an upcoming IEP meeting, please feel free to contact us at 708-895-2450
