The first day of school for the 2009-2010 school year begins on Monday, July 27.  It will be a minimum day, with dismissal at 1:15 PM.  Salt Creek will host a Back to School Informational Fair on Saturday, July 25 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.  Student-teacher placements will be revealed on that day.

Sixth Grade Supply List

Please scroll to the bottom of this page for a PDF of the 2009-2010 sixth grade supply list.  Students will not need all their supplies on the first day of school.  In order to better prepare students for middle school, sixth grade teachers strongly prefer that students have one spiral 3-hole notebook (70 pages each, college ruled, different colors if possible) for each of the following subjects: language arts, science, and social studies.  For math, students should have one graphed composition book (also spiral 3-hole notebook).  In addition, students should also have a planner in which they can write their daily homework assignments.  If they do not have a planner, a spiral 3-hole notebook will work just as well.

Sixth Grade Camp

Sixth grade camp for the 2009-2010 school year will be at Camp Marston in Julian, CA.  Dates for camp are Monday, February 8 through Thursday, February 11, 2010.  Currently, the cost of camp is $212 per child.  This is only an estimated price.  The sixth grade camp price for the 2009-2010 school year has not yet been posted.  In addition, the cost of transportation might also increase because of the district's current budget restrictions and current fuel prices.  We should know the exact cost of sixth grade camp some time after Labor Day.

            In the past several years there have been a high incidence of absences following sixth grade camp.  Camp for the 2009-2010 school year is four days and precedes a four-day weekend so it allows more time for students to recuperate after spending a week breathing cold mountain air.  There is no school February 12-15, 2010.   

            A non-refundable deposit of $100 is due by Friday, Aug. 14, 2009.  Full payment for camp will be due by Friday, Oct. 23, 2009.
