Grandparents' Day 2023

Grandparents' Day has been a long-standing tradition at Salk that dates all the way back to 1983. On May 17th, after taking a few years off due to the pandemic, the tradition continued. Our students and their grandparents enjoyed an afternoon of entertainment from the Salk musicians, refreshments, and pictures with Jonas.

A FEW IMPORTANT REMINDERS

• To limit class disruptions, if you know you will be picking up your student early from school, please call the attendance line (509-354-5615) in the morning. This way, we are able to write your student a pass, and they are able to leave at the appointed time without the office having to call in and disrupt the class.

• Remember that cell phones and earbuds are not allowed in school. Please remind your students to put these items in their backpacks before they enter school, and do not take them out again until they leave at the end of the day.

• Please do not have food delivered to your student at school. Due to food allergies and other health concerns, we cannot have food shared, and therefore it needs to be contained. If food is delivered to your student, they may eat it alone in the office conference room or pick it up after school.

• All students going into the 7th grade need to have an up-to-date vaccine record showing they received the Tdap immunization after age 11, or an up-to-date certificate of exemption letter signed by a doctor on file before they start 7th grade. If you haven't turned that in already, please get it in as soon as possible.

Thank you for your cooperation.
