Quarantine Changes

By -

 Hello Salem Family,

Due to MDH's switch to follow CDC guidelines, the quarantine rules have shifted for Salem as well. The quarantine window will be shortened if the following situations apply to your child(ren):

1. There are no positive cases in your household.

2. Your child had a one time exposure to the COVID positive person. 

The shortened time period is 7 days with a negative test, (The test must be taken five days or more after the exposure date for it to count.) or 10 days if you do not want to get your children tested. (They must not develop any COVID symptoms during this time for them to come back.)

With this being said, the students that were affected by the staff member testing positive a few days ago can return earlier than expected. 

If you plan on getting your child tested, please send the result to Mr. Klatt via ClassDojo or email (rklatt@salemlutheran.org). If your child had exposure on 12/1, they can return on 12/9 and if they had exposure on 12/2, they can return on 12/10. Again that is with a negative test.

Students who do not get tested can return to school next Monday, 12/14. Again, as long as they do not develop symptoms of COVID over their quarantine. 

Please reach out to Mr. Klatt with any questions you may have. Thanks for being patient as we continue to navigate this ever-changing situation. It is great to know that we have an all-powerful God in control when life seems to be spiraling out of control.

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
