This week, I’ve had the opportunity to serve as the principal intern here at our school, and it has been such a joy to experience our community in a new way. I’ve loved spending time getting to know students across grade levels and connecting with so many of our wonderful families.
Our school truly shines because of the kindness, care, and support that surrounds our students each day. Thank you for welcoming me into this role and for partnering with us to make our school such a special place to learn and grow.
As we head into the holiday season, I wish you and your family a joyful, restful break filled with warmth and time together. I look forward to continuing to learn, lead, and serve alongside this amazing community.
Warmly,
Dr. Reid
Principal Intern
This month for the classroom counseling lesson, students have been learning about tone of voice. Our tone of voice can change the meaning of our words and helps others understand how we are feeling. For example, the same words can sound kind, excited, frustrated, or serious depending on how they are said.
We discussed the importance of using an appropriate tone of voice for different situations, such as talking with friends, listening to adults, asking for help, or expressing strong emotions. Matching our tone to the situation helps us communicate respectfully and build positive relationships.
Students also had the opportunity to practice using different tones of voice with peers through role-playing in a small group activity. Practicing in a safe, supportive setting helps students become more aware of how they sound and how their tone affects others.
Families can support this learning at home by talking about tone of voice during daily conversations and modeling how to adjust tone in different situations. Together, we can help students strengthen their communication and social skills!
Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful winter break! I look forward to welcoming our students back in January.

As we move into the rainy season, we want to remind everyone of the importance of students coming to school prepared for wet and unpredictable weather. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately each day with items such as a warm coat, waterproof jacket, boots, and other rain-ready clothing.
Unfortunately, the school does not have replacement clothes available if students get wet during arrival, dismissal, or recess. Having proper clothing will help keep students comfortable and ready to learn throughout the day.
Students are welcome to use umbrellas, but we kindly ask that they use them safely and appropriately to ensure everyone’s well-being.
We would love to have you volunteer, if you are a new parent to the district please click on the link to get signed up to volunteer.
If you are a current volunteer in the district please contact the volunteer coordinator to make sure that Saltar's Point is added to your profile.
If your student is moving up to Pioneer Middle School make sure you reach out to our volunteer coordinator to have Pioneer added to your profile.
