We are thrilled to be able to donate time at the FMSC facility in Schaumburg again. This is a field trip we took previously and the students loved it. Due to spacing restrictions, we can only take one grade level at a time. After we volunteer in the morning, we will be having lunch at Woodfield Mall’s food court. If you do not want your child to sit near other students when they have lunch, please let us know on the permission slip you will receive closer to the dates of the trips. We need additional adult supervisors for this event, so please let me know if you can help and which date you are interested in. We will be on this trip from 8:30am - 12:15pm on the following dates:

8th Grade - Monday, May 16th

6th Grade - Tuesday, May 17th

5th Grade - Thursday, May 19th

7th Grade - Tuesday, May 24th

Do you know of a staff member in Salt Creek District 48 that deserves some extraordinary recognition for something they have done in our school district to make a difference for others? Or do you just want to share some kindness around. Please fill out this form to have this staff member recognized for their extraordinary accomplishment.

As a reminder, all 6th graders and any new/transfer students are required to have a dental examination on file by May 15th, 2022. The dental exam must be dated between November 15th, 2020 - May 15th, 2022. The link to the Illinois Dental Exam form is below. It is also available on our school website.

We continue to offer weekly on-site testing for COVID-19 on Tuesdays through Northshore Clinical. If you are interested in your child participating in testing please register using the links below:

• For Albright Middle School, click here to register.

• For Stella May Swartz Elementary School, click here to register.

• For Salt Creek Primary School, click here to register.

If your child is currently participating in weekly testing, but you no longer want them tested or only want them tested upon request (not every week), please let Mrs. Ross know.

Please make sure to notify Kate Beckwith if your child will be absent, arriving late, or being dismissed early. If you DO NOT call your student in to school they will be considered UNEXCUSED for their absence. It is helpful to contact your child's teacher in these matters as well, but it is very important to contact the office! If you have any test results from COVID testing or Doctor's notes, please send those to our nursing staff.
