Join us for another Viking Spirit Week!

We know how difficult these times may be on you and your children. We love this image that reminds us to focus our time, emotions and energy on things that we can control. Reach out to your building social worker if you need additional support or resources! *Mrs. Scholtes

Hi Salt Creek Families! Week 3 and 4 packets are available for pick up at Salt Creek. They are in a bin, outside the door. You may pick one up when it's convenient for you. To request a mailed packet, contact smonroe@saltcreek48.org. Thanks for your support in learning at home!
Dear Parents,

Dear Parents,

Join us for Spirit Week (from home) next week!

The Monarch winners have been announced! The statewide winners were Baby Monkey, Private Eye; The Bad Guys; and Do Not Lick this Book! (In that order.) The favorite book at Salt Creek School was Rescue & Jessica.




Here are some great suggestions for parents during e-learning days:
- If possible, set up a designated place for students to do their school work. This should be away from electronics and other distractions.
- Students should create their own schedule for the day. (We discussed how students may be helping out more at home during this time, so the schedule should reflect when they are able to successfully work on assignments.)
- Write out the schedule, then you'll be more likely to follow it.
- Start with your favorite class or assignment. This will help motivate students to start their day.
- Don't forget to include break time for a quick energy boost. This should include a snack and some movement.
Today, until 2:15pm, is the last day for pickup of work/items at all schools. For the safety of all, only parents (no children) picking up meals from 10am-12pm should visit moving forward. This is offered M-F for the next 2 weeks. School work will be available outside each school. Please call your school if there is an immediate need.
Our very own Mrs. Bauers was a presenter at the IL ASCD Pre-K and Kindergarten Conference! She shared her expertise on student created rubrics. How lucky are we to have such rockstar teachers in Salt Creek School District 48?


Tomorrow is game day at Salt Creek! Students earned this incentive for turning in their Box Top Bouquets. Please have your child bring in a simple, non-electronic game to play with a friend. Please continue to send in or scan your Box Tops. Thanks for supporting our school!

Salt Creek students had a blast doing the Kids Heart Challenge. Thank you Mr. Hanus for organizing such fun, healthy activities.




Thanks Northwestern Medicine for teaching us how to keep our brain safe while playing!

We collect Box Tops year round, but FTC is trying to reach a goal by February 26th. Box Top bouquets went home yesterday. Please help support our schools by turning in any Box Tops you have. Thanks for your support!

Our next Viking Parent Education Series is only one week away. Join us at Albright on Wednesday, February 19th at 5:30. You will walk away with tools to help manage your child's technology and social media. Pizza will be served and childcare will be available. See you there!
