MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL VAN
Hello Salemwood Families!
Happy Fall! We need and want all our students to be at school each and every day on time! That way they are getting all the academic and social support!
Also just a friendly reminder, as the cold weather is upon us, please make sure that our students are dressed appropriately for the weather. Please also make sure that they are being dropped off at school when our doors open (School hours: Kindergarten-Grade 6: 8:15-2:15pm; Grade 7 & Grade 8: 7:45am-2:20pm). Please DO NOT leave your child unsupervised and waiting out in the cold. Unfortunately we do not have staff available until their contractual time.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns (email: vhuynh@maldneps.org)! We thank you in advance for your continued support!
Ms. Van Huynh

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL NOTICE
As the weather is getting colder, we kindly remind families that school starts at 8:15 for grades K-6 and 8AM for grades 7-8. Please plan to have students arrive to school when school opens for them. Children are not allowed into the building before school as there is no one available to watch them. Additionally, there is no supervision before or afterschool on the school grounds or playground
If your plan is to leave the car to accompany your child to their line please note, there is no parking or drop off in the school parking lot. The spaces are reserved for staff so the teachers are able to welcome our students on time.
Please be mindful of our neighbors. Do not park in such a way as to block driveways to make the street impassable.
