We are deeply grateful to the Salt Creek District 48 community for their overwhelming support of our referendum question on the November 5, 2024 ballot. Your commitment to our schools empowers us to make transformative changes that will benefit our students today and for generations to come. Thank you for investing in our shared future!

Salt Creek Primary students learned about the election process today! We read three books and voted for our favorite story/character. Students filled out their ballot and even got their voter IDs checked at the ballot box! It was a close race.... but Pigeon came out on top!

Just a Reminder- There is No School Tuesday, November 5th due to the Elections. We will see you back on Wednesday, November 6th! Have a great bonus day off!

District 48 Families: This is just a reminder that Sun, Nov 3, 2024 is Daylight Savings Time. Please remember to set your clock's back 1 hour.

Thank you to our SASED friends for visiting all of our classrooms in honor of White Cane Day this week! This special day honors the independence and achievements of individuals who are visually impaired. The white cane is a powerful tool that provides independence and safety for visually impaired travelers. They showed us how they use their canes, and even taught us a little braille!
