Salem Community Schools

As winter weather approaches, here’s a quick guide to what each schedule change means:
2-Hour Delay:
Schools open two hours later than normal. Buses run on a delay, and students report in person.

Asynchronous Learning Day:
School buildings are closed, and students complete assignments independently at home. Teachers will post work on Google Classroom by 9:00 AM.

Synchronous Learning Day:
School buildings are closed, but students follow a live online schedule with their teachers. Attendance is taken through virtual sessions.

Please check our social media pages and make sure your phone number is up-to-date with your child's school to stay informed of school closings.

Monday is a built-in snow make up day, Tuesday is a two-hour-delay!

The Salem School Board will meet for its regular monthly meeting on Monday, Jan. 12, at 6:30 p.m. Click the link for the full agenda: https://aptg.co/fKkPcr

Please join the family of PJ Beyster in a celebration of his life.

Flu season is on us! Please remind your child to wash their hands, not just rely on hand sanitizer! Also, remember you MUST call in daily to the attendance clerk at your child's school if your child won't be in attendance. If they go to the doctor, please get an excuse to turn in when they return. Let's all stay healthy this winter!

Let's have a great second semester, Lions!

Tomorrow is a Synchronous Learning Day: School buildings are closed, but students follow a live online schedule with their teachers. Attendance is taken through virtual sessions.

The School Smiles dentist is returning to our school on December 3rd for dental cleanings. If you missed the dentist’s first visit, there is still time to get your student signed up for our upcoming visit! Please visit https://schoolsmiles.com/student-signup/ to sign-up today! A new form needs to be completed each school year to remain in the program, but if you have already completed a form for the 2025-26 school year, you do not need to sign-up again. School Smiles accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and offers self-pay rates for those who may be uninsured.
