Concerns about Bullying? Please see our District FAQ page
At Saltar's Point, we want every student to feel safe, respected, and supported at school. When concerns about bullying or other misconduct come up, we know parents may have questions about how these situations are handled.
To help, we want to share information from our district’s website, including Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that explains our process, how we support students, and what to expect when a report is made.
We appreciate your partnership in making our school a positive and welcoming place for all students. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Recess Takeover - February 26 - Think Tropical Theme
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!
