Note from the Principal
Dear Saltar’s Point Families,
Tomorrow, Friday, October 30, is “Dress as Your Favorite Book Character” day! We look forward to seeing students celebrate their favorite stories and characters. Please remember that masks are not permitted, and students must remain recognizable throughout the school day.
As Halloween approaches, please also help us keep students focused on learning by limiting the amount of candy coming to school next week. Large amounts of candy can become a distraction in the classroom. Thank you for helping students save most of their Halloween treats to enjoy at home.
Finally, don’t forget to “fall back” this weekend! Daylight saving time ends on Sunday, November 1. Remember to turn your clocks back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night.
Thank you for your support in making school a safe, fun, and welcoming place for our Otters. Have a wonderful weekend!
