Musical Revue Class with Duncan Frost In this class students will act, sing and dance their way through some of the best scenes and musical numbers from American musical theatre! This class for grades 4-8 focuses on learning core acting skills, vocal technique and commonly used dance combinations while students rehearse a short musical revue to be shared at the end of the course. No previous experience required, but students must be comfortable singing, dancing and acting on their own in a classroom setting. Class begins October 2nd. For details, click here. |

Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year! What better way to wind down after a great first week than to peruse your first Friday bulletin of the year?
We email a weekly bulletin each Friday afternoon. Bulletins are where we distribute information about school happenings, upcoming events, student opportunities, and more. Many of our fall events and activities are already starting or are just around the corner. Read on for details.

 Bring your smile to school on Monday, September 21st because it's picture day! Individual pictures only; class pictures will occur later in the year. To order online, click here and use the code 02151G. If you are interested in volunteering to help please email Jodi. |
 Your student brought home a packet of forms yesterday. Those of you who have been at Salmon Bay for a few years likely noticed that the packets have far fewer forms this year. Packets include only those forms that apply to all students. Forms with limited applicability and information-only documents are available on the school website and hard copies are available in the front office.
Please return your student's envelope, cover sheet, and all forms to the front office or your student's (homeroom) teacher by Monday, September 21st.

We have an extremely tight timeline for getting the paperwork and logistics organized for middle school camps this year. Please help by promptly returning all forms and payments on or before Tuesday, September 22nd. Refer to your first day of school email for details regarding students who will take medication at camp, required volunteer paperwork, and the chaperone meetings on Thursday, September 24th.

Drop Off and Pick Up Reminders
|
 Morning Supervision
Students may not be on campus without an adult before 8:15am. After 8:15, students must be in one of three locations until the bell rings: playground/upper field, cafeteria, or library.
Drop Off and Pick Up Locations
For student and family safety, do not drop off or pick up students on NW 65th Street or next to the bus zone on 19th Avenue.
Please drop off and pick up in the loading zone on the east side of the building (18th  Avenue). We ask that drivers do not drive north on 18th Avenue. Limiting the street to southbound traffic helps our crossing guard manage congestion and ensures all students are leaving and entering cars from the curb side of the street. Do not park in the loading zone or idle while waiting for your student. If you must enter the building for any reason, you must park elsewhere.
 Parking
Seattle Municipal Code prohibits parking a vehicle within five feet of a driveway or alley. Help us be a good neighbor by respecting driveways, bus zones, and other no-parking area around the school.
