Dear Families,
I wanted to send a quick reminder about a few important things happening at school tomorrow and in the coming week:
Earthquake Drill:
Tomorrow, our school will be practicing an earthquake drill. This is an important part of our safety plan, and we want to make sure all students know what to do in the event of an earthquake. Teachers will review procedures with students ahead of time so they know what to expect.
Spring Music Concert:
We’re excited to welcome you to our Spring Music Concert tomorrow evening! Students have been working hard, and it’s sure to be a wonderful performance. We hope to see you at 6:30 to celebrate their talent and effort.
Warm Weather Reminder/Beach Bash:
Our annual beach bash is coming up next week, 4th grade will go on Monday and 5th grade on Tuesday. As the forecast calls for warmer weather next week, please help us keep students safe and comfortable by making sure they come to school with sunscreen applied and a water bottle. We’ll be encouraging students to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Saltar's Point Elementary
This week was the last Counselor Time for half of the school. We are doing an end-of-the-year wrap-up with “A Walk Down Memory Lane”. I am covering all of the topics we discussed throughout the school year. I will finish up by Thursday of next week and wish all of our students a happy summer vacation.
For Otter Talks students, our last lunch will also be next Thursday.
As of the end of this day, all students have been informed of my upcoming retirement. It has been a pleasure getting to know your children and supporting them during these formative years. I wish you all the very best in your educational journey.
Take care.

Summer break is just around the corner and we are working to clean up any remaining
unexcused absences we have in the system. Please check the attendance section in Skyward
to see if this affects your student.
If you see any unexcused absences please respond through Parent Square, call the office or
send an email to saltarspointoffice@steilacoom.k12.wa.us.
When responding please include the date and the reason your student was absent. If a reason
is not included we will not be able to clear the absence.
Thank you for your continued communication regarding your student’s attendance.
If your student has a fine/fee or if you want to put money on their lunch account you can pay online through https://wa-steilacoom.intouchreceipting.com/signin.
If your student has a lost book(s), the fine can be removed either from payment, finding and returning the book(s), or replacing the book.
One of the platforms SHSD uses to announce school delays or closures is the FlashAlert alert system.
FlashAlert has released a new version of their mobile app. Please first delete the existing FlashAlert app from your mobile device and then install the new version.
