Good Morning, Salt Creek 48 Community. For those of you who have been utilizing iReady over the summer, unfortunately, students will not have access to their accounts for the remainder of the summer. When the rollover process (from one school year to the next) begins, the entire account is locked, and all data is archived as we prepare to set up with our new 25-26 rosters. Thanks for your understanding, and we'll see everyone soon!

Dear Salt Creek Primary Families,
With the beginning of the year quickly approaching, I wanted to take a quick moment to check in and say how much we are looking forward to seeing everyone!
Now for the big question on everyone's mind: will we start school on time? The answer is YES! Crews are working hard to get everything in order, and we will be ready to welcome students back on Wednesday, August 27th.
Later this week, you will receive the official Welcome Back letter with updated procedures as well as your student's schedule.
If there is anything I can assist with, please don't hesitate to reach out at lscanlan@saltcreek48.org.
See you soon!

Are you wondering where your student's shirt, hoodie, pants, shoes, lunch box, and water bottle have gone? Look no further! These are the items that are currently in Albright's lost and found. If you recognize something that belongs to your child, please tell them to grab it ASAP. All items remaining at the end of the school year will be donated to charity.

Anderson Book Fair is all week at Swartz School. Swartz students can view and buy with their classes all week. All other students will get the chance to buy on Friday, May 30th, at the FTC End of Year Party from 5:00- 7:00 PM in the Library.
We look forward to seeing all of you. This has been a chaotic end to the school year, with lots of excitement for our new 2025-2026 school year ahead!


We will be watching the weather closely tomorrow for Albright's Graduation. We prefer to have the event outdoors, and will make a decision as late as possible. If we do have to move indoors, only the four tickets will work for entry, which is why we prefer waiting. We will send a text message & Email as soon as a decision is made. We appreciate your patience and understanding as these decisions are tough to make.
Graduation will be livestreamed, so please share this link with family and friends: https://tinyurl.com/y55k8ze6



Don't forget today, Friday, May 23rd, is a Half Day. Dismissal times are: Albright 10:53 AM, Swartz 10:40 AM & Salt Creek 10:50 AM—NO SCHOOL ON Monday, May 26th. Classes will resume on Tuesday. Have a great weekend!
