Hello Salt Creek families! Kindergarten Registration is OPEN for the 25-26 school year! This year we are hosting a Kindergarten "Signing Day" event on Thursday March 13, 2025. On this night, the building will be open for students to meet our Kindergarten teachers, tour the school, and officially "sign" their commitment to Kindergarten with our Viking mascot! We are encouraging families to register prior to this event, but if you need assistance, please come prepared to register that night. Registration can be done easily online through your Skyward portal. Here is the link for your convenience: https://www.saltcreek48.org/page/registration And we hope to see you on March 13th for our Kindergarten "Signing Day!" (RSVP's encouraged through the office.)

Thank you to FTC, which will donate yearbooks to the 1st, 4th, and 8th grade students this year.

Kindergarten students celebrated community helpers today! They all chose a community helper and wrote an opinion piece on why their helper is the best! They got to dress as their community helpers and share their stories today. Way to go Vikings!

Albright had a very productive e-Learning day today! Thank you to all staff, students, and parents for helping make this as close to a regular school day as possible. We are so proud of how engaged our students were, even during asynchronous work time. Viking Pride all around!

Dear District 48 Parents and Staff, Unfortunately, it looks like the heavy snow will be coming down mid-day tomorrow and will continue for several hours. It is anticipated that the afternoon commute will be impacted by the weather conditions making the roads potentially hazardous. Many schools around our area have decided to move to an e-learning day. I apologize for the short notice regarding the decision to call for an e-learning day tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12th. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and the icy and slick road conditions present a concern for the afternoon commute. As you know, our teachers are always so good at being prepared for anything, so to be safe, we will follow our e-learning schedules tomorrow. I appreciate your understanding, patience, and flexibility during these unforeseen circumstances. Below are links to the e-learning plans for each school: -Salt Creek and Stella May Swartz - https://tinyurl.com/y2hhf68v -Albright Middle School - https://tinyurl.com/2z83fst6 Your cooperation is invaluable, and we are grateful for your ongoing support. Thank you, Amy Dr. Amy M. Zaher

Sports Day tomorrow! Mrs. Clancy's 1st grade class earned a prize drop for doing some amazing work, all morning long. Our prize drop landed on "Sports Day!" Which is perfect, since the super bowl is this weekend! Wear your favorite team sports gear tomorrow OR the color RED if you are rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs and GREEN if you are rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles.
