Dear Saltar’s Point Families,

Please remember that next Friday, October 9, there will be no school for students. Our staff will be participating in a professional learning day to continue strengthening our work in support of students.

Safe and Respectful Bus Behavior

We would appreciate your help reminding students about appropriate bus behavior. Please review these expectations with your child:

• Stay seated and face forward while the bus is moving.

• Use a calm voice and kind, respectful language.

• Keep hands, feet, and belongings to yourself and out of the aisle.

• Follow the bus driver’s directions promptly.

• Help everyone feel welcome and safe.

These expectations help our drivers focus on the road and make the ride a positive experience for everyone.

Please Keep Toys at Home

Please remind your child that toys, stuffies, and NeeDohs should stay at home and are not allowed at school. These items can distract students from learning. Keeping them at home also helps prevent them from getting lost or damaged. Thank you for helping your child check their backpack before coming to school.

🍂 Fall is Here… and So Is the Rain & Mud! 🌧️

With rainy days come muddy recesses and the occasional bathroom accident! Please consider sending a spare change of clothes in your student’s backpack, just in case.

Our Health Room clothing supply is limited, and we may not always have the right size available.

Thanks for helping us keep our Otters clean, dry, and comfortable! 🦦

🦦 We Love Our Volunteers!

We love having families join us for recess takeovers, field trips, classroom activities, library help, and all the other ways you support our Otters!

To help volunteering go smoothly, we ask for just a few things:

• Volunteer at Cherrydale or Chloe? Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator to have Saltar’s Point added to your profile.
• Your volunteer clearance has expired? Check with the Volunteer Coordinator to make sure you have been renewed.
• New to our district? Please complete a volunteer application with plenty of time for it to be processed before your volunteer opportunity.
  
  

You can find all the information you need, including volunteer and school contacts, here: District Volunteer Information

Not sure if you’re cleared and active for Saltar’s Point? Give us a call or email the office, and we’re happy to check!

Thank you for volunteering your time—we can’t wait to see you at Saltar’s Point! 🦦

🦦 Move-A-Thon Update: We’ve Raised Over $5,000!

Our Otters are off to a fantastic start—we’ve already raised over $5,000 toward our $25,000 goal! 🎉

The Move-A-Thon is October 8th, and we need your help to make it a success! Every student participates, and 100% of the funds raised benefit Saltar’s Point by supporting field trips, curriculum enrichment, and student & family events.

💙 Ways to Help:

• Volunteer: Check out the SignUp Genius to see where help is needed. Please make sure you’re registered as a district volunteer through the District Volunteer Page.
• Fundraise or Donate: Visit the Student Center to set up your child’s fundraising page or make a donation.
  
  

Our goal is $25,000, and if every student raises $55, we’ll surpass it! Donations can come from friends and family near and far.

Thank you for supporting our Otters and helping make Saltar’s Point an enriching place for our students and families! 🦦💙
