Hello from the Counselor’s office. We finished up our lessons on the RAS and teasing. Our next lesson for both the 4th and 5th grade is to practice what we’ve been learning through role plays. The kids have a good time coming up to the front of the class and acting out the skits I’ve provided for them.

Did you know?

• Each day your student shows up matters! Attendance is part of the student success equation.

• Absences add up! Missing two days or more per month means a student misses more than 10% of the school year.

• Missing school means missing opportunities to learn and connect.

• Showing up matters because regular attendance is an important building block for student learning.

• Attending school regularly helps students feel better about school and themselves.

If you are planning on attending the event, please help us plan and RSVP here: We are attending.

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 .

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 salmon are growing a little every day and their tank is getting a little crowded. Next week is looking like our last week with them before they are released into part of Chambers Creek.

If your student has a fine/fee or if you want to put money on their lunch account you can pay online through https://wa-steilacoom.intouchreceipting.com/signin.

If your student has a lost book(s), the fine can be removed either from payment, finding and returning the book(s), or replacing the book.

Sodexo recently found out that Saltar's Point is Super close to being eligible for free meals next year for all students! But they need to have more fourth-grade families submit a free and reduced application by the end of THIS month.

They have asked that we share this flyer to let families know to get online and submit their application. Even if you do not qualify, if Sodexo has enough applications turned in is part of eligibility.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Sodexo. Their phone number is 253-983-2229 or their email is studentnutrition@steilacoom.k12.wa.us

We would love to have you volunteer, if you are a new parent to the district please click on the link to get signed up to volunteer. If you are a current volunteer in the district please contact the volunteer coordinator to make sure that Saltar's Point is added to your profile.
