From the Principal's Desk
Hello Little Viking Families,
What an exciting week it has been! Thank you to our families who joined us last night for Kindergarten "signing night!" It was so exciting to see our future Vikings excited for school next year.
Speaking of next year, registration is OPEN! Returning families should log into their skyward and register as soon as possible. This helps us with staffing for next year and can make the difference between 2 or 3 sections in any given grade level.
Over the next two weeks, we have spirit days on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to support our Stella May Swartz and Albright friends who are take their state IAR tests. Primary students DO NOT take this test, but we are joining with them in their spirit days to cheer them on! See the flyer below.
Finally, do not forget to complete our 5Essentials parent survey. We want to hear from YOU! Let us know how we are doing and how we can improve at Salt Creek Primary. You can access the survey here: https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/
As a reminder, Mrs. Scanlan continues to be onsite Tuesdays and Thursdays and Mr. Hanus is our building Principal on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Reach out to either of us with your questions or concerns. After Spring break, Mrs. Scanlan will be back full time.
Have a great weekend,
-Mrs. Scanlan and Mr. Hanus
Any questions about FTC and/or events please contact Brittany at bsebesta@saltcreek48ftc.org
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.
