Dear Saltar’s Point Families,

Next week is conference week! We look forward to celebrating your student’s progress, and discussing ways we can work together to support their success.

Students will be released at 12:10 each day during conference week. Lunch and breakfast will continue to be served. Please review your family’s dismissal plan with your student so they know how they are getting home. If they ride the bus, please make sure they know their bus number. If they are being picked up, please arrange for pickup at 12:10.

Students may not stay at school to wait for their scheduled conference. We are unable to provide adequate supervision after 12:10. Students should go home at dismissal and return with their family to attend their conference.

We look forward to seeing you next week!
