The last day of school is tomorrow, Thursday 6/13. School is out at 12:10 pm.

If you have a change of transportation for your student, please call the office and let us know by 11 am. Half days are pretty hectic, especially when it's the last day of school and we want to make sure that everyone gets to where they need to go.

It's hard to believe that another school year is ending. This has been an amazing year with a wonderful group of students. One of the hardest parts of being in a school with only two grades is the short amount of time we have to spend with each of our students. Each year I meet with the middle school team to talk about the upcoming 6th graders. This last conversation ended with how much I will miss this group but know they will be amazing middle schoolers. I am so excited to also spend another year with our current 4th graders as they become new 5th grade students. Last week I was able to visit our elementary schools and was able to meet all the incoming 4th graders. We are going to have an amazing year next year.

As summer begins, I wanted to share a major change in next year's schedule. Students may not be dropped off or arrive at school before 8:35 am. This is a big change and I wanted to make sure families had enough time to prepare. If students are riding a bus, their pick up time may change. I will continue to update families through ParentSquare.

Have a great summer!

Alex Clauson

Principal

Saltar's Point Elementary

As I prepare to leave Saltar's Point and embark on my next journey, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for our otters and their families. I have enjoyed working with our 4th and 5th grade students and will miss them dearly. I hope everyone has an amazing summer. Thank you for making my time at Saltar's Point so special!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Firth

If your student has a fine or fee that needs paying please check out how to pay online using Touchbase https://www.steilacoom.k12.wa.us/who-we-are/departments/financial-services/how-to-make-payments-for-fees-fines-and-food-service/how-to-make-payments-for-fees-fines-and-food-service-clone.

If your student has a lost book(s), the fine can be removed either from payment, finding and returning the book(s), or replacing the book.

Every year the 3rd graders from Chloe Clark, Cherrydale and Anderson Island come to Saltar's Point for a visit. There is a presentation, a visit to the library and a question and answer time in the courtyard. We can't wait for these kiddos to start with us in the Fall.

Thank you to Molina Healthcare for an amazing donation of books and money for our book drive. The books they donated made it possible for each student to pick a book or an adventure packet, and the money for the book drive made it possible for our library to get more books for our Otters.
