We have had a busy first few days of school. So many positive things are happening here at Salter School. Please stress to your child the importance of being present at school each day, listening in class, doing your best, behaving in class, being on time for school, etc.
Attendance is of utmost importance. Please make sure your child attends school each day. The State Department of Education monitors our attendance and we are striving for 100%. Make sure you send an excuse each time your child is absent. Also send a note to your child's teacher if you are changing transportation. It is the policy of the Board of Education that this must be submitted each time there is a change. We cannot make a change in transportation over the telephone.
If you haven't had a chance to visit our school this year, please come! You are in for a real TREAT! Our pond is beautiful; vegetables will soon be growing in our Outdoor Classroom; the bird sanctuary has been filled with birds; we are enjoying the discovery tables on the grounds of our school and many other positive changes have been made.
Our students are so fortunate to have planners again this year in grades 2-6. Planners are a one stop place for you to see your child's homework each night. Spelling words are also included in the planners as well as important reminders, conduct, etc. Planners should go home each afternoon and come back to school signed by a parent again each day. Thursday folders are an addition to our school again this year. They contain important information about our school that you will have at your fingertips. Weekly papers are sent home in the Thursday folders. The school is providing a FREE planner and a FREE folder to your child. If they are lost, planners cost $3.00 and folders cost $1.50 for replacement.
Thanks to Mrs. Hester and Mrs. Armstrong for their hard work on the Salter School BLOG. The web address is: www.salterschool.blogspot.com.

There is also a connection to Stride Academy, Accelerated Reader, STI Home, lunch menu, school calendar, and Destiny (which is our library connection).
We welcome you to have lunch with your child, but Board of Education policy states that no food may be brought into the lunchroom from an outside source (fast food restaurant). We also encourage you to visit your child's classroom. Board of Education policy states that these visits are for observation only for 30 minutes. This is for observation only; please schedule another time to have a conference!
We had a GREAT turn out for Orientation Night. We had over 25 families to join PTO. The cost is $3.00 for a single membership or $5.00 for a family membership. The school spends the money on various things such as Brain Pop website, computers, software, field trips, testing incentives, Fall Festival, and much more! We encourage you to join when we have out PTO Open House in September.
