We love seeing our Salt Creek Primary School natural playground featured by our Architects FGMA! 🌿💙

One of the most rewarding parts of creating new and improved spaces for our students is watching them come to life, and this space has done exactly that!

What was once an underused lawn is now a place where our youngest learners can climb, explore, imagine, learn, play, and sometimes just take a moment to reset. We especially love that there is no “right way” to use this space. Our students continue to find new ways to make it their own every day.

Thank you to our partners at FGMA and Nicholas & Associates for helping us think beyond the traditional playground and create something truly special for our Salt Creek Primary students.

Take a look at this video to see our students and their imaginations in action! 🌳🪵💙

Subject: Important Drop-Off & Pick-Up Reminders

Good afternoon, Salt Creek families!

Thank you so much for a great first day! It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces arriving at school this morning. We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as we get back into our routines.

Morning Drop-Off & Parking

Beginning tomorrow, if you plan to park and walk your child to the school doors, please do not park in the neighboring business parking lot. We want to be respectful of our neighbors and make sure their parking spaces remain available for their customers and employees.

If the front parking lot is full, please continue around to the back of the school, where additional parking is available.

Afternoon Pick-Up

If you are picking up your child in the afternoon, please remember to scan the new QR code posted on the yellow sign near the gym doors where students are picked up.

Please do not use the QR code from last school year. As part of our commitment to student safety, we have created a NEW QR code for the 2026–2027 school year.

Thank you for your help, patience, and cooperation as we work together to make arrival and dismissal as safe and smooth as possible for everyone.

We had a fantastic first day and can't wait to see everyone again tomorrow!
