Dear Parents of Salem Lutheran School:

The theme for the 2017-2018 school year is “Run the race. Fix your eyes on Jesus!” based on Hebrews 12:1-2.

Visit with the Teachers: We will host one “Visit the Teachers” Open House on Wednesday, August 16.  K-8 families may arrive any time from 4:00-8:00 PM. Preschool families should choose to arrive either at 4:00 pm or 6:00 pm to attend one of two informational sessions that will be presented by Jane Grobe. The K-8 teachers will be stationed at a table in the Fellowship Hall where parents can talk with them collectively or individually about the year ahead.  If you would prefer a home visit, please contact your child's teacher.

Welcome Day: We will have Welcome Day on Monday, August 21 from
5:30 – 7:00 PM.  On this day parents and students should come to school to drop off their supplies, set-up their lunch account, find their child’s desk, and drop off any unfinished paperwork.

First Day of Classes and Schedule: The first day of classes will be Monday, August 28

This year, our registration materials will be emailed to you and all future newsletters and communications will be sent using a new format. In order to do this, click the SUBSCRIBE button above!
