Because of the amazing amount of positive feedback we received from our families and staff, Saltar’s Point will once again be starting our 2025-26 school year with Success Conferences for our students and their families.

During the first two days of school, students and families will be invited to participate in a conference with their new teacher. This is an opportunity for classroom teachers to meet students and their families individually. Students will also become familiar with their classroom environments, as well as their school, as they participate in fun activities.

In these Success Conferences, teachers will:

• Talk with families about their child’s strengths, and what works best when they struggle,

• Introduce the student to the classroom environment, and

• Answer any questions families may have.

There will also be opportunities throughout the school designed to engage families and students. Some examples include:

• Fun STEM activities

• Scavenger hunts where students will meet their specialists, principal, counselor, school mascot, paraeducators, play on the playground, practice boarding and riding a bus, and more

• Information booths for PTA, school lunch, and school bus transportation

• Case Manager meetings

For the 2025-26 school year:

• Students will not attend school on Thursday, August 28, or Friday, August 29, except for a Success Conference scheduled with their teacher on ONE of these days.

• Families will receive an invitation to sign up for their Success Conference date and time through a ParentSquare message sent to families on August 19.

• All Saltar’s Point students will be in their classrooms together beginning Tuesday, September 2.

• Kindergarten students and families will receive direct communication about their class schedules as part of the WaKIDS process.

• All students in grades 6-12 will attend school on August 28 and 29 with their regular schedule.

• There will be no open houses in August for elementary schools.

• All schedules and teacher assignments for all SHSD students in grades K-12 will be available in Skyward Family Access on Tuesday, August 19.
