Salem Parent Teacher Organization Meeting March 11th

By -
Hello Salem Families,

In preparation for the next SPTO meeting here are a few key items.

The meeting will be Thursday, March 11th at 6:30 pm. You can attend either in person in the lunchroom or online in a google meeting.

Briefly, the agenda for the meeting will be a review of SPTO's role, elections, discussion of parent lead volunteers, and an upcoming Easter egg hunt. The full agenda can be found using this link: March 11th Agenda

If you are interested in becoming an officer you can review the duties in the By-Laws.

As the parent lead volunteer is a new initiative, we will need to review and adopt guidelines to be added to the by-laws. Please feel free to review a copy of the parent lead description using the link.

Finally, if you are interested in helping out with the Easter egg hunt but not SPTO, feel free to come later to the meeting (approximately 7:30 pm) or please contact Julie Ross jeffandjulieross@yahoo.com.

We hope to see many of you there!

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.
