Salem Parent Teacher Organization Meeting Recap

By -

 Hello Fellow Salem Parents and Caregivers,

All parents are automatically members of SPTO :) We really want to make sure everyone feels included so here is a recap of key points from SPTO's special meeting on Thursday (2/4) for those who could not attend.

1 - Those present agreed it is a good idea to move forward with initiating a "Salem Parent Classroom Lead/Co-lead". Sherah Spark and Sarah Wegwerth will work on drafting a document that outlines the mission statement, purpose, goal, and logistics of what will likely become a committee. This document will be presented at the next official SPTO meeting (see below). Those interested in being involved with drafting the document should email Sherah at sherahp@hotmail.com ASAP.

2 - Due to the open forum being scheduled during the normal SPTO meeting time, the next official SPTO meeting will be March 11th at 6:30pm - we will be holding elections for new officers, committee positions, and the Parent Classroom Lead/Co-lead initiative.

3 - SPTO will start to post announcements in the Salem Parents Connection Facebook group. If you have not discovered the group yet you are welcome to join it using this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1082185242149122

Blessings on your weekend!

Update on Stillwater School Board's Proposed Change of Start Times

By -
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
