From the Principal’s Desk:  Welcome Back!
Excitement.  Anticipation.  Apprehension. These words describe how you might feel about going back to school.  Questions fill your head.  What will this year bring?  What will my teacher be like?  How will other students treat me?   These are the question students think about as they start a new year of school.  I also had some of these questions this year.  How will other teachers and students respond to me?  Will I make the right decisions?  Do I know everything a principal needs to know to run a school effectively?  Like a lot of our students, I don’t have all the answers to these questions.  But I do know this, if I look to God for help and guidance, he will be there to help me.  
The theme for our school this year is “Fix Your Eyes on Jesus”.  This is taken from Hebrews 12:1-2.  We need to look to Jesus for answers to these questions.  The Holy Bible is God’s Word.  When we use the Holy Bible daily for worshiping, teaching, making decisions, guiding behaviors, and counseling and encouraging others, we are fixing our eyes on Jesus, “...the author and perfecter of our faith.”  This is the main purpose of a Christian school like Salem.  As families, it is also important to make spiritual growth a high priority by having daily personal Bible study, small and large group Bible studies, and attending worship services.  We must learn to first seek God and his righteousness, and trust that he will provide for all of our needs according to his good and gracious will.  May God bless our school and our families this year!
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Next Year Update I know there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the next school year and what it will entail. As we continue to wait for updates from the CDC and our Government, I wanted to share with you the plan for Salem as of now. Salem is planning on having in-person school starting August 31st. We are currently creating a plan for what this will look like with the faculty and the School Board. We are planning on sending the plan out in the middle of July. We also continue to work on plans to go to Remote Learning again if need be. We want you to know that our primary plan is to have in-person school. Through all of this uncertainty, it is important to remember that we have a God who does not change. He has seen the entire plan of this pandemic and will use it for our good. This pandemic has created times that are hard for us to trust in His plan with all that our country is enduring. I pray you can find comfort in God'sWord and know that he loves and has a plan for eac...

Middle School Ski Field Trip—Inclement Weather Plans

By -
Dear parents, we are keeping an eye on the weather for tomorrow. In case our school day is canceled or we have a late start due to inclement weather, we will postpone the ski trip and try to reschedule with Afton Alps for a later date. We will let our chaperones know as soon as possible so they can make plans. Refunds can be issued if a rescheduled date does not work for chaperones. If we are unable to reschedule, refunds will be issued. In the event of a late start, our middle school students will have a regular day of school (beginning later, of course). https://salemsaintsmn.blogspot.com/2018/01/bad-weather-closing-reminder.html
