Welcome to Salem Woods Elementary School - Home of the Timber Beasts!
Summer 2009
Dear Salem Woods families,
As we close the year Salem Woods would like to wish a fond farewell and appreciation to Tammy Amador and Amy Pituraschsatit. They will be leaving us for new adventures and will be missed.
Our school counselor, Mrs. Amador, will be at Frank Wagner Elementary School next year. Tammy joined the Salem Woods family eight years ago. She grew up in Illinois and her background is in social work. She went back to school to be a school counselor. She is married to Carlos, and daughters Sarah and Elena are eleven and nine respectively. Her summer plan is to swim, play soccer, and camp with her family. She will be missed by all.
Ms. Pituraschsatit joined us this past year as a second/third grade multi-age teacher. She grew up in Washington, spent a year in Thailand teaching elementary and high school. She currently lives here in Monroe and her parents are in Moses Lake. She plans to spend the summer hanging out and job hunting. We enjoyed Ms. Pituraschsatit this year and wish her well.
June 9 we celebrated our 5th graders time in elementary school. Many have been here since kindergarten. They all are bright, caring, and capable young people. As the year comes to a close we want to take time to recognize and celebrate the class of 2016. We thank you for sharing and trusting your child with us and for partnering with us in this education adventure. We send your student off to middle school with confidence and pride.
We look forward to seeing most of you back here in the fall for another fantastic school year. Enjoy the summer break! Be safe, enjoy family and friends, relax, continue learning with your child, and have fun!

Important Notice About Internet Safety
The best way to protect children from online harm is to keep computers in a family area of the home. Visibility allows parents to look over the students' shoulders without being too oppressive. Young children should have a parental chaperone whenever they are on the Internet. Two sites that discuss these issues and offer advice can be found at www.safekids.com and www.safeteens.com.
Hyperlinks to staff web sites (located on the Staff page) are provided for student and parent convenience, and all staff web sites are hosted by external Internet service providers. Monroe Public Schools assumes no liability for content contained on external service provider sites. Filtering software from one of the providers listed below is recommended to prevent unauthorized access to sites beyond the District's control.
