Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week
On behalf of the entire staff, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you for the outpouring of kindness, thoughtful notes, and generous gifts during Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week. Your words of encouragement and gestures of appreciation truly mean the world to us.
It is a privilege to work with such a supportive community and to teach students who bring joy, curiosity, and energy to our classrooms every day. Thank you for making us feel so valued and celebrated — your thoughtfulness has reminded us just how lucky we are to be a part of this incredible school family.
Salk Field Day
Field Day is Coming
This year Salk's Field Day will take place on Monday, June 2nd. With a rain date of Tuesday, June 3rd. Only parents that volunteer will be able to attend the event. Also, be on the lookout for a text or email on the morning of the event should we have to cancel due to the weather.
Few Reminders:
Students should bring a refillable water bottle with their name on it.
Students should wear comfortable clothing and shoes, sunglasses or a hat, and sunscreen.
We are also encouraging students to bring extra shirt/clothes due to the water events.
Parents must turn in an iChat and be cleared in order to volunteer. To sign up please use this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904084EABAB2EA31-56450168-salk
iChats can be turned in to the office or sent in with your student to be given to their teacher.
Parking Lot Reminders!
A FEW REMINDERS:
* Please remember that the drop-off lane is not for parked cars.
* The bus loop is for buses only!
* If you want to walk your child to their door, please park in a parking spot and walk up together.
* The church graciously allows us to use their parking lot. Please do not park in reserved spaces.
Thank you for helping to create a safe parking lot for all our students!
Canvas- Parent Access
All Fraser classroom teachers provide instruction, resources, activities, and assessments to students utilizing the Canvas LMS. As a result, students have continuous access to the course materials and information regarding their achievement.
Parents/Guardians can also have continuous access to their student’s course materials and grades in Canvas by creating a parent/observer account. In addition, parents of multiple students can easily switch between their students to view grades and assignments within the same parent account.
All sign up information and resources are provided on the Fraser website.
Important reminders when using Canvas:
- Canvas works best in Chrome
- Please do not install the Canvas app (for parents or students). We are not supporting it as our staff and students are utilizing the web-based version of Canvas and it looks and works differently.
- If you signed up and paired with your students last year, you still have access to those students and their new courses this year.
- If you need to add more students to your account this year, please follow the directions provided below.
- If you have forgotten your password, you can use the Forgot Password? link on the parent sign in page. Then, enter the email address you used to set up the account to receive a password reset email.
- If you have forgotten the email you used, please reach out to Kim Keith, Kimberly.keith@fraserk12.org, for additional assistance.
Downloadable directions are linked below. In addition, helpful videos and walk-throughs may be found linked HERE.
Charlie the Therapy Dog
Charlie has made visits to Salk the last couple of years with great success. Students are happy to see him and he really brightens the mood. Charlie will make his next visit in two weeks.
Charlie's purpose is to ease student's anxieties and increase positive emotions. We do not want his presence to cause fear or anxiety. As a reminder, parents have the ability to opt out of having their student interact with Charlie. If you DO NOT want your student to be around Charlie, then please fill out the opt out form linked here.
For the safety of students with allergies and Charlie, he will not be in the lunch room. Charlie will also remain out of classrooms in which parents have a student who opt out. Charlie will be under my supervision and kept on a leash at all times.
Rules for Interacting with Charlie:
Use calm bodies and inside voices when around Charlie.
Always ask before petting Charlie.
Don't take food around Charlie/feed Charlie
Free Meals for All
Although not required, we do ask that families complete the Education Benefit Form located HERE. By doing so you help ensure the school receives additional funding.
