Dear Third & Fourth Grade Families,

We believe that fostering a positive learning environment is crucial for our students' success, and we highly value your input in shaping their educational experience. We kindly request your assistance in selecting the best teaching style for your child.

At Saltar’s Point Elementary, we strive to provide a diverse range of teaching styles, ensuring that every child's unique needs are met. We believe that each child's educational journey should be engaging, inclusive, and tailored to their individual strengths. By considering your preferences, we aim to make an informed decision regarding the best teaching style for the upcoming academic year.

Please take a few moments to consider the type of teaching style you believe would be most beneficial for your child's development. We kindly request that you email your preferences, along with any specific considerations, to Alex Clauson at aclauson@steilacoom.k12.wa.us no later than June 12th. Please do not include individual names of teachers as we will not be able to accommodate those specific requests.

Your input will be instrumental in guiding our decision-making process. While we cannot guarantee that all preferences will be accommodated due to various factors, we will do our best to consider your input and assign a teacher who aligns with the overall preferences expressed by our parent community.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and involvement in your child's education. Together, we can create a nurturing and enriching learning environment that fosters growth, curiosity, and success for every student. We look forward to hearing from you and are excited to welcome your child to Saltar’s Point next year!

Alex Clauson

Principal

Saltar’s Point Elementary

This month's recess takeover is happening on 5/27 so we get to celebrate World Otter Day! All students will get an Otter Pop at recess.

Please use this link to see where you can help out.

Does your student leave the house with items like a water bottle, lunch bag, coat, hoodie, or other belongings and not come home with them? Those missing items may be in our school Lost & Found.

Families are encouraged to stop by and check for any belongings that may belong to their student before the end of the school year. Once school is out for the summer, all unclaimed items will be donated to Caring for Kids, an organization that provides school supplies, clothing, food, hygiene products, and other essentials to children and families in need throughout our community.
