Hello Salem Family, I forgot to mention pick-up and how that will go. Preschool parents should come in and get their children at 3:30 pm. Please take your temperature again as you enter. K-8 students will be brought outside by faculty at 3:40 pm and your child will be allowed to go to their car once they see it. Parents can wait in their car for their children and can wave to teachers and their kids to let them know they are here. Feel free to contact your child's teacher if you have any questions. Mr. Klatt

Salem's 2020-2021 School Theme and Message from Mr. Klatt: Darkness. It causes problems in our day to day life. Darkness causes tiny problems like being scared to turn off the lights, go into a basement with no lights, or stubbing your toe because you can’t see where you are going. It can also cause major problems like accidents on the road because you can’t see where you are going. Many an invention has been created whose sole purpose is to eliminate darkness. Our theme for this school year focuses on the opposite of darkness. Salem’s theme is “Living in the Light” taken from John 8:12, “Jesus said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” Darkness causes problems that are scary. I think many of us, even the most hardened soul, would admit that the situations that darkness can cause are scary. That is why knowing our Lord and Savior is such a comfort. It is through him that we always have light. No matt...

Hello Salem Family, A few reminders for the first day/week of school. When dropping off and picking up your children, the entrance to our parking lot is from Panama Ave. Please do not use this entrance as an exit, even from the small parking lot located directly after entering. Please continue to follow the curve to leave and exit onto 62nd St. This will keep everyone safe. There will be no bussing the first week of school. Bussing will begin on September 8th as long as the District Schools are staying with the hybrid model. Before and After care students can be dropped off and picked up by the cafeteria doors on the south side of the building. The main doors will be locked until 8:30 every morning and will also lock at 4pm in the afternoon. For all K-8 students, please send them with a water bottle to school. The water fountains will be closed as to mitigate the spread of the virus. Please also have your children bring their water bottles home to sanitize them daily. Please also ...

Dear Salem Families, Busing will not begin for our students until Stillwater Public Schools begin their school year on September 8. Please plan to bring your students the week of 8/31 since there will not be busing available to us that week. Also... District 834 busing will only be available to us Mondays through Thursdays this coming school year. The only Friday we will have busing available is on September 11. The rest of the school year there will be no busing on Friday and our families will have to drop off and pick up their students themselves. Please disregard the bus days listed on the 20-21 academic calendar that you have received. We will need to update this as we have more information from the 834 School District. Thank you! If you have not already signed up for busing for your child, please do so here: Busing Request Form

Hello Salem Family, Due to the recent increase in enrollment in our school, we received an assignment from MLC for our 2 nd grade classroom. Her name is Heidi Kostrzewa. She is from Wauwatosa, WI and has 8 siblings. She attended Wisconsin Lutheran High School and went on to MLC as she was interested in joining the Friends of China program. Due to COVID Heidi was unable to continue with Friends of China and so was available for assignment to Salem. We are excited to welcome Heidi as an addition to our staff and know that she will bless us with her many talents. We would like the families of Salem Lutheran to help welcome her by donating gift cards that she could use as she moves into the Stillwater area. Gift cards can be for grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, or any other places you feel would be beneficial. Her installation will...
