Good afternoon parents,

As you may have heard, the Department of Economic Security (DES) has shared that November SNAP benefits will not be issued until federal funding is released to the states. We recognize this may create hardship for many of the families we collectively serve, and it’s important that we work together to ensure families are connected to available supports during these uncertain times.

Additionally, we encourage families who may be impacted to apply for or continue participation in WIC. WIC offices remain open and continue to serve and enroll families, ensuring access to nutrition and support for women, infants, and young children.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.

The La Paz County Health Department comes to Salome during November and December to administer immunizations. We invite parents and community members to view our immunization clinic schedule for dates and times.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I am writing to remind all families of our school’s policy regarding student cell phones. Students are not permitted to bring or use cell phones during the school day. We have noticed an increase in students using their phones to contact parents directly to make changes to pickup or drop-off arrangements. This has led to miscommunication and confusion in the front office, as staff may not be aware of these changes or able to confirm them.

To ensure the safety and clear communication of all students, any changes to pickup or drop-off plans must go through the school office. If a student needs to contact you during the day, they may do so using the office phone with permission from a teacher or staff member.

We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a safe and well-organized system. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you,
Ms. Walton
