Dear Saltar's Point Families,

I understand that in today’s digital world, social media can be a quick and easy way to receive and share information. However, it can also sometimes lead to the spread of rumors or misinformation. If you hear something concerning about our school, I kindly ask that you reach out to us directly. We are always happy to provide accurate information and address any concerns you may have.

Please keep in mind that, as a school, we are required to maintain confidentiality regarding student matters. While we may not always be able to share specific details, please trust that we are committed to the well-being of every student and handle all situations with care and professionalism.

Thank you for your continued support and for working with us to create a positive and informed school community. If you ever have questions or need clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

PLEASE READ REGARDING COUGH DROPS

Dear Parent and/or Guardian:

If your child requires cough drops at school, please note the following:

Many cough drops contain medication and/or herbs. Ex. Lidocaine, Menthol, Echinacea. By law we cannot dispense any medication type items without MD orders, parent request, and item in original packaging. Cough drops that do not contain these things are not any better than a hard candy.

You are welcome to send to school some hard candy, like LifeSavers, for use while your child is not feeling well.

If you have any questions regarding the cough drop policy or would like a medication orders form, please feel free to contact me.

Stay safe and healthy,

Bree Giovannini LPN

Saltar’s Point School Nurse

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! Take advantage of early bird pricing through March 16th! Soft cover yearbooks are $20 and hard cover yearbooks are $30. 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

Finally, be sure to pencil in February 26th for our next Recess Takeover! We’ll be hosting a “Think Tropical” spirit day, so come wearing your favorite tropical colors, Hawaiian shirt, or island attire while we hope for the weather to warm up soon!

Thanks for all your support!

Our salmon are growing into Fry from the Alevin stage. They have started swimming around, not hiding as much in the rocks and just about ready for food.
