Dear Salt Creek School District 48 Families, Due to inclement weather that is anticipated to hit our area later this evening and extending into the morning, we are implementing a districtwide eLearning day for Tuesday, February 16, 2021. This means that our students will not be in attendance at our schools. Your child’s teacher or teachers have already prepared lessons for this day and your child is expected to login remotely at their normal start time. The day will operate as a typical eLearning day, with the same start and end times. If you have any questions, please reach out directly to your child’s teacher or principal. Thank you for your patience and flexibility. Sincerely, Dr. Jake Chung Superintendent of Schools

Kindergarten registration begins next Friday, February 19th! Please see the flyer for more details. Can't wait to meet our newest Little Vikings!
