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.

Salem Community Schools will have a synchronous e-learning day tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28. Students are to follow the synchronous live schedule for their respective building.

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!
