Got costumes and dress-up clothes gathering dust in your closet? Time to clear out the cobwebs! Throughout October, drop and/or pickup gently used costumes and dress-up clothes anytime in the front lobby. Unclaimed items will be offered to our school’s theater department for upcoming performances, K/1 classrooms for dress-up, and/or local charities, so nothing goes to waste.

There are so many wonderful events and activities throughout the year. Below is a typical year-at-a-glance. See our calendar and weekly newsletters for evolving and current events, programs, and volunteer needs.
Salmon Bay’s staff, administration, and volunteers work together to offer many opportunities throughout the year for learning outside the school building. These enriching opportunities cost more than the funding provided by the district. Families are asked to contribute per student.
This school year student fees will be collected twice. The Fall Payment includes fees for school supplies, enrichment, full camp payments for 5th and 6th graders, camp deposits for all other grades except kindergarten. Spring Payment includes fees for Middle School Spring Enrichment Program (SEP) and camp payments for all grades other than 5th and 6th.
Families can expect to receive payment links from the school volunteer coordinator, Lara Cowles, or classroom teacher in early September for the Fall Payments, and late January for the Spring Payments. Payments can be made in full or in installments via the SchoolPay online system.
Payment links can also be found here:
Elementary Student Activity Fees
For more information on the school supply fee, see here.
Elementary enrichment is for field trips planned by teachers throughout the year; 7/8 grades attend Fall Connections; 6th grade spring outing. Camp payments for 5th and 6th graders are collected in the fall as their camp dates are earlier in the school year. Fall deposits are collected for most other grades. Some Spring fees are estimated and will be finalized by January, if necessary.
Partial or full scholarships are requested by emailing the school social worker Allie Ash (aeash@seattleschools.org) or the middle school counselor Rob Bright (rabright@seattleschools.org).
