Salem Lutheran School News

Just a reminder that we are still under a free lunch grant offered by MDE. If you had set your TADS account up for withdrawals to fund your child's lunch account, these will again be suspended in December until the free lunch grant has officially ended. Cold lunch milk, snack milks and extra lunch milks are not covered under this program. We will still be charging .40 per milk for those orders. Please remember the one milk included with hot lunch is free and Kindergardeners also receive one free milk every day. We hope to post more information on how long this grant program will last soon. Please contact the school office if you have any questions. school.office@salemlutheran.org December Lunch Menu

COVID School Year Salem has had a few more COVID incidents, but are healthy besides those couple of incidents. We have had two classrooms have to quarantine and both will be back after Thanksgiving Break. We are blessed to have great families who are communicating with Salem’s staff about sickness and helping to keep Salem a safe environment for learning. Please remember that due to the Stillwater School District's plans to switch to distance learning, we will not have bussing available to or from our school starting Nov. 30. Please make sure to have transportation plans for your children by then. Christmas Charity Giving Every year instead of a gift exchange, the classes at Salem ask families to give to a charity to help those who may not have as much during the Christmas season. This is our way of sharing the blessings God has given us and like our theme for the school year says Let our Light Shine! More information about the charities and how we plan to donate will be comi...

  Good Morning Salem Family, In the midst more restrictions from our Governor, the School Board  wanted me to share with our families how  we are going to  approach the upcoming months of school. We will continue to monitor the situations in each class and  quarantine, as we have been, following the  protocols put in place  at the beginning of the year. The only time we would ask the  whole school to quarantine  is if a majority of the classes were  infected with COVID, and it seemed that our school was the cause  of the  spread.

Again, this would only  happen if many cases arose in our  ...
