If your student needs a Make-Up Picture, ask the teacher to send your child for a picture. Please send them to school “Camera Ready” and make sure they bring their SMILE!

Make-Up pictures may be taken for 3 reasons:

1. Your student missed the previous school picture day

2. You want to purchase school pictures, but would prefer a new pose

3. You want a different picture in the yearbook (if applicable)

It's completely FREE to have your child photographed again. After Picture Day you'll receive an email link to see your child's new pictures, as well as their previous pictures.

No purchase required - Pay only if you order!

Dear Saltar’s Point Families,

Thank you for attending our student-led conferences this week! We appreciate you taking the time to celebrate your child’s progress and growth. Our students were so proud to share their learning with you and to highlight the goals they are working toward. Your partnership makes a meaningful difference in their success.

As we look ahead, Halloween is Book Character Day! Students are invited to come to school dressed as their favorite book character. Costumes should be school appropriate, and we ask that students not wear masks or extreme make-up, as they need to remain easily recognizable throughout the day.

We can’t wait to see all the creative and literary-inspired outfits
