A Message from Our Superintendent
Parents and School Community,
As I reflect on this school year, I can say this new experience as your superintendent has had its share of learning curves but has given me so much drive and determination to continue to create a positive school community that will make lasting impressions.
Each morning, seeing students’ smiling faces, experiencing their curiosity, creativity, and excitement has been a constant source of inspiration. Watching them grow, personally and academically, has also been a highlight of this year.
Our dedicated teachers and staff have worked endlessly to provide opportunities for our students to learn and thrive. From early morning sporting events, to late night fundraisers, weekend lesson planning, and all of the duties in between, they have gone the extra mile to ensure the students have the tools they need to succeed.
I am also incredibly grateful for the support of our families. Your involvement in school events, encouragement of your child’s learning, and your partnerships with our staff have been important in creating a positive and collaborative environment.
As we look ahead to the next school year, I want to communicate my excitement and commitment to provide high quality instruction and support that not only meets the needs of all students, but our teachers and staff as well. It is only together that we can build a school community where everyone feels valued, supported, and inspired.
I hope you all have a safe and restful summer. Thank you for your continued support!
A special message to the Salome Elementary School Eighth Grade Class of 2025:
Milestones are actions or events marking a significant change or stage in development. Learning to walk was one of your first milestones, then your first day of kindergarten. Next, you will turn sixteen and learn to drive, graduate high school, and after that, the milestones are endless. How you transition into the new parts of life once a milestone has been reached will play one of the biggest parts in your success. Many of you will choose paths that you will later change, ones that won’t turn out as expected, and some that will succeed beyond your wildest dreams. The most important thing is that you do it all with a positive, hardworking attitude and a kind heart. The end of your eighth-grade year is a significant milestone where you will begin to decide who you want to be, where you want to go, and what you want to do. The transition from elementary school to high school is important, and I hope you all make the best choices for your future.
Throughout your years here at Salome Elementary, you’ve faced challenges and celebrated successes. Each one has shaped you into the person you are today. As you prepare for high school, remember that this is just the beginning of a whole new chapter. There are so many opportunities out there, and I have no doubt that you all will excel, even through struggles and the unknown. Most of you have come all the way from preschool to eighth grade together and have built a bond that no one will be able to break. Those of you who arrived later, you have a great group surrounding you, and I hope you all will continue to support one another and share amazing memories as you complete the next four years.
Congratulations on reaching this milestone, and know that wherever this next path takes you, your teachers, staff, and I are cheering you on. We look forward to hearing about all the amazing things you will accomplish. Remain true to yourself and what you believe in.
Work hard, be kind.
Warm regards,
Jennifer Walton
