Dear Swartz Families,
With the beginning of the year quickly approaching, I wanted to take a quick moment to check in and say how much we are looking forward to seeing everyone.
Now, the big question on everyone's mind is: Will we start school on time? The answer is YES! Crews are working hard to get everything in order, and we will be ready to welcome students back on Wednesday, August 27th.
Later this week, you will receive the official Welcome Back letter with updated procedures and your student's schedule.
If there is anything I can assist with, please don't hesitate to reach out at kmarino@saltcreek48.org.
See you soon!
