Salt Creek School District 48 all district-issued Chromebooks (and chargers) go home with students for summer use. All Chromebook activity will continue to be filtered and logged. However, the District will not be actively monitoring the activity until school resumes and students will only be allowed to access district approved educational materials. This only applies to students in grades 1 through 7 who are fully registered for the 25-26 school year. Summer technology will not be an option for our current kindergarten students, as those Chromebooks remain in Kindergarten each year.
We will not be able to do repairs throughout the summer, so if your child's device has any issues during this time, please email their school's administrative assistant and principal. We can work together on a solution that works best for you.
If you would like to opt-out of having your child keep their device for the summer, please email Gerrie Aulisa at gaulisa@saltcreek48.org. If no response is received, and your child is fully registered, then your child will be sent home with their Chromebook.

With recent news coverage about measles outbreaks in other parts of the country, we wanted to share a quick reminder about how we can keep our school community healthy and safe.
While there are currently no measles cases in Illinois, it’s still important to stay prepared. Measles is highly contagious and can spread quickly—but the MMR vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella.
In Illinois, children are required to receive two doses of the MMR vaccine before starting Kindergarten (with some exceptions). If you're unsure whether your child is up to date, a quick check with your healthcare provider can help.
FTC would like to thank all students and parents who helped us show our Appreciation last week for
Teachers & Staff; we are thankful to have such an amazing group! Everyone was extremely grateful for
the week of celebration.
FTC would also like to thank everyone who attended our last Pokemon night of the year this past week; be on the lookout for
new events next year!
FTC has our monthly May meeting next Monday, May 19 at 7pm in the Albright Cafeteria. New members are always welcome.
We are planning & discussing our events for the 2025/2026 school year!
Our final event of the year is the Year End Social which is next Friday, May 30 right here at Swartz. The event is from 5-7pm.
There will be an Anderson Book Fair, Snow Cones for Sale, A Bounce Obstacle Course, Taco Truck and much more! We hope to see you there to conclude a wonderful school year.
Stay tuned for information coming out for EPI School Supply kits; part of the funds go to FTC so we can continue to fund teacher requests all year long that help our students! Plus it makes back to school shopping a breeze!
Join FTC for our traditional last dine out of the year at Dairy Queen, all day long Tuesday, June 3 after our half day last day of school!
Thanks again and please reach out to Lisa Auriemme with any questions; lauriemme@saltcreet48ftc.org

Update Information
It is important that parents keep their information updated in Skyward. If there is an emergency we do not want to have the wrong information. Please contact the proper school your student attends and give them any new information that needs to be changed whether it be for yourself, your spouse, another parent from a different address (we can separate addresses when student's are split between households),update new or old emergency contacts and any phone numbers for anyone on your Skyward parent portal. It is your responsibility to keep us informed. Salt Creek 630-832-6122, Stella May Swartz 630-834-9256 and Albright 630-279-6160.
Call the ABSENTEE LINE when your child is absent ☎️
Please make sure to call the Stella May Swartz Absentee line at 630-834-9256, press 2 if your child will be absent or arriving late. The school office will retrieve these messages every morning. If you have any doctor's notes, please send those with your student for the nurse's office.
