A Message from Salem SPTO

Salem Staff Appreciation Week - May 7th-11th

The SPTO would like to invite you to celebrate our wonderful, dedicated staff at
Salem by participating in some fun activities we have planned for this week!
First of all, we are planning to offer some breakfast treats during one of the
teachers' early morning staff meetings this week. Second, we are catering in a
special lunch from the Olive Garden for all staff at Salem on Thursday, May 10th.
We are asking families to please donate $5 per family to help with the expense
of these two meals. This special staff lunch is the one lunch all school year that
teachers are able to eat with other staff members and be away from the noisy
lunchroom. It is a simple thing we can treat them to and it is always greatly
appreciated by the staff members! Finally, we encourage you to surprise your
child’s teacher or any other Salem staff with little treats or gifts throughout the
week.
Our theme for this school year is “Fix Your Eyes on Jesus”, so we will be
spelling out “JESUS” throughout the week. For example:

Monday: bring something that starts with “J” (juice, jokes, Jimmy Johns, etc.)

Tuesday: bring something that starts with “E” (Extra gum, Emerald Nuts, etc.)

Wednesday: bring something that starts with “S” (Snickers, Subway, etc.)

Thursday: bring something that starts with “U” (unique artwork, unusual bakery
items, etc.)

 Friday: bring something that starts with “S” (soy candle, scented lotion, etc.)

Have fun and use your creativity to surprise your teacher and show them how
much they are appreciated!

This is an update on Stillwater School Board’s proposal to change school start times in 2019-2020. The Stillwater School Board met last night and one of the topics on the agenda was the proposed changes in starting time to accommodate a later start for the high school students.  This change in start time for the high school would affect the start and end time for Salem students.  In the proposals presented last night, Salem would start school between 9:15 and 9:40 a.m., and end between 3:45 and 4:10 p.m. Jane Grobe and I spoke on how starting later and getting out later would affect our students’ learning and how it would disrupt family schedules. The middle school, where some of our students participate in after-school extra-curricular activities, would have their school day ending at 2:00.  That would mean if students left Salem for after-school activities, they could miss over 2 hours of instruction to be at the start of the middle school activities. The board’s discussion on th
