Dear Families,

We hope this message finds you well! As we continue to foster a focused and engaging learning environment for our students, we’d like to send a friendly reminder about our school’s electronics policy.

To minimize distractions and maximize learning, all cell phones and smartwatches must be turned off during the school day. Students are welcome to bring these devices to school, but they should remain powered down and stored away until dismissal.

Students may use their cell phones and smartwatches while riding the bus to and from school. However, we kindly ask that all devices remain on silent mode, and if audio is being used, students must wear headphones to ensure a respectful and quiet atmosphere for all passengers.

Thank you for your support in helping us create the best possible learning environment for our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.

If you have questions or concerns regarding the transition to middle school that you would like addressed at the May 8 Incoming 6th Grader & Parent Night please use this Google Form.

A note from the Highly Capable Program teacher, Mrs. Hannah Engstrom:

Every Spring there is a window of opportunity for 1st-4th grade students to apply for the district’s Highly Capable Program. Any family is welcome to apply. Students who qualify may have advanced academic skills, display an abundance of creativity, or are amazing thinkers. Application forms are found on the district’s website on this page: Highly Capable Program or you may request a paper copy from your child’s classroom teacher. Applications are due April 14, 2025. Evaluation and testing will be completed in late April. If you have any questions about the program feel free to contact me via Parent Square or email at hengstrom@steilacoom.k12.wa.us.

Hi Otter Families,

The PTA depends on parents and volunteers to make our events happen. While we would like to host two more family events this year, we can’t do that without additional help! If you are interested in learning how you can become more involved, please reach out to us on Facebook at facebook.com/SaltarsPointPTA or via email at saltarspta@gmail.com . Our volunteer opportunities range from tasks you can do on your own time in the comfort of your own home, to in-person needs to help run events. We are happy to work with your schedule and skills to find a way for you to contribute! Continue to check our website and facebook for the most up-to-date information.

Our YEARBOOK sales are now live! Soft cover yearbooks are $22 and hard cover yearbooks are $33. Order yours today by clicking here! We need photos for the yearbook! If you have photos from classroom events (e.g., field trips, in-class celebrations, etc.), you can upload them for the PTA using this link and entering the password Caring4EachOtter-2025.

Thanks for all your support!

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.
