Welcome to Salt Creek School District 48!

As the new school year approaches, I am thrilled to welcome you back to another exciting year in Salt Creek District 48. I am particularly excited to begin my second year as Superintendent. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a welcoming and supportive community.

I am proud of the progress we made last year, and I am even more optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead. Our commitment to providing a high-quality, well-rounded education for all students remains our top priority. We are dedicated to fostering a nurturing learning environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

This year, our district's theme is "Rowing Together - Honoring Our Past, Navigating the Future." This theme is a nod to our Viking and “Little Viking” mascots. It also reflects our collective dedication to building upon our district's strong and historical foundation while charting a course toward an even brighter future for our students. To achieve this, we are excited to share that we have developed four key focus areas for our strategic plan:

• Academic Excellence

• Culture of Belonging

• Sustainable Finances and Facilities

• Communications and Community Engagement

We will share more about our updated strategic plan in the coming months.

I encourage you to partner with us in creating a successful school year. Your involvement is invaluable in supporting your child's education. We look forward to working together to make this an exceptional year for all.

Sincerely,

Dr. Amy M. Zaher
