From the Principal's Desk
Hello Little Viking Families,
I can't believe we have reached the end of the first trimester! With that comes parent-teacher conferences next week and report cards going live on your skyward account by end of day next Friday.
Please see the flyer below about how to view grades in skyward if you are unfamiliar.
In addition to grades, our first round of attendance letters will be mailed over fall break. Any student who has been absent or tardy for 10% or more of the school year (6 or more days) will receive this letter. This is not a gotcha or reprimand, but simply a first notice to be aware that when students are late or absent, they miss important learning. If you receive a letter, it just serves as a reminder to focus on attendance at school as we move forward this year. If you get a letter and have any questions or concerns, please reach out at any time.
And another reminder to dress for the weather! See the weather watch chart below. Students go outside for recess throughout the entire year. Hats and gloves are a must in the cold months. If there is snow, students must have snow pants and boots to play in the snow.
And one final notice; Our gates have been installed, but the blacktop gate is not the expected gate. That will be replaced as soon as possible, but will be fenced off again for the time being. We were so close to having all the last ins and outs done! Thank you for your patience as the final finishes of construction come together.
Have a great weekend,
-Mrs. Scanlan

Attention Parents - School doors open at 7:40 am. There is no staff supervision prior to this time. Classes start at 7:50 am.
Students who come in late find it harder to establish a good morning routine at school. Teachers are beginning instruction and a late student is missing out. Thank you for your assistance in making sure your students arrive to school on time!

Overdue Breakfast/ Lunch Balances
Don't forget to check and pay any overdue lunch balances. You can check balances and pay on your parent Skyward account. You can also send cash or check payment to school with your child in a marked envelope with name and what payment is for. The office will then account for the cash or check payment on your student's Skyward.
In your parent portal in skyward, click on the fee payment tile, then in the far right hand top corner click on the "make online payments" button. This will take you to Revtrak. Make sure to sign up before you try to make payment. Once you can sign in, click the Make a Payment button in the middle of the page. This new service will streamline the payments so you can make a payment or set up recurring payments. This is directly connected to Skyward so you see the money immediately go to your child's account. If you have any questions please email or call your school office.
Preschool Payments: Once in Revtrak you will see in the upper right area an arrow next to SHOP. Click the arrow and pick Preschool in order for you to complete your payment. If you have any questions please email or call the Salt Creek school office.
