Remote Learning Update

By -
Hello Salem Family,

The teachers met this morning and plans are beginning to form for how we are going to be able to serve you and your families as you remain in your homes.

We want these plans to be well thought through so they can be successfully implemented from the start. In order to do this, we will need this entire week to get things ready for you. We are hoping to have days at the end of this week for families to pick up student work so we can start remote learning next Monday, March 23.

The teachers also realize this is a long time for your kids to be without education. We are going to be putting together a list of resources you can use at home to keep your children learning while plans are being finalized. This resource list will be sent out tomorrow.

Thank you for bearing with us and helping us as we continue to work together to educate your family and keep them safe.

God’s blessings on your day.

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
