Did you know that Salmon Bay K-8 has one of the most active caregiver communities in the entire district? That’s you! There are so many ways to stay connected and get involved…
Bookmark and visit school-related websites
Read SBK8/FOSB bulletin and teacher newsletters
With a child enrolled at SBK8, you automatically receive the weekly SBK8/FOSB Friday Bulletin, which will be sent out by Principal Dixon. You will also receive occasional mid-week emails, directly from the main office with all school-related activities and announcements. You may also automatically receive weekly newsletters and updates from your child’s teacher with classroom-related information. Weekly bulletin archives are available here.
Opt-in to receive advocacy emails
Opt-in here to receive regular emails from the FOSB Advocacy Committee concerning relevant legislative updates, advocacy efforts, and ways to get involved. This information is not typically included in the weekly SBK8/FOSB bulletin and teacher newsletters. You can also join the parent-led, district-wide Fund SPS movement here.
Connect on social media
Join FOSB Facebook (@FriendsofSalmonBay) and Instagram (coming soon) posts and conversations concerning all things SBK8.
Join your grade-level Google groups
Join your grade-level Google and Facebook groups to directly communicate and organize with your peer families in fun and meaningful ways. To be added to the appropriate group(s) managed by the FOSB Building Community Initiative email sb-join-email@googlegroups.com noting which grade(s) to join.
