From the Principal's Desk
Hello Little Viking Families,
It is hard to believe we are already in our final month of school. The year has flown by. Even though we are nearing the finish line, we have a lot of learning and fun ahead in these final weeks of school.
Reminders/Updates:
Friday is our registration deadline for a free Salt Creek Tshirt! - REGISTRATION FOR THE 2026-27 school year is OPEN! Please log into your skyward and complete next year's registration as soon as possible. All district students who register prior to the May 8th deadline will receive a free school T-shirt!
Our students did an amazing job with our Books for Bikes reading program! We read over
2,500 books in the month of April! Thank you to the Elmhurst and Western Springs Masonic Lodges for sponsoring the "Books for Bikes" program at our school through the Illinois Masonic Children's Assistance Program. Check out a picture of our winning students with their bikes below!
Most students completed their end of year iReady assessments this week. Make-ups will be next week and those reports will be sent home the last day of school when report cards go live in Skyward. Even the preliminary results we are seeing are astounding! SO MUCH GROWTH THIS YEAR! Thank you to our families for your support of our students at home. Their growth is your accomplishment too!
And finally, thank you to all of our families for showering our staff with appreciation this week for teacher appreciation week. We are so lucky to have such an amazing FTC and school community in Salt Creek 48!
Have a great weekend,
-Mrs. Scanlan

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.
