Summer Skills Books

By -

Dear Salem Parents,

We are again offering to order Summer Skills Books for those families that like to use them over the summer months. Sample books can be viewed in the school office. Please place your order by May 7th or feel free to view and order these directly on their website. www.summerskills.com

Here is more information from the Summer Skills Team:

Summer-slide is something every teacher is concerned about. Taking three months away from school sets students back when they return in the fall, and that’s in a typical year. According to a study from research firm McKinsey and Company, the pandemic has put students anywhere from 4-12 months behind, and we aren’t even finished with the challenges of the last year. 

 
Thankfully, the Summer Skills series of books is designed to strengthen skills and reinforce lessons learned. With a variety of subjects for students from kindergarten through 12th grade, there is a way for every student to bounce back from a difficult year and head into next fall more prepared.
 
Here is why millions have purchased our books:
 
  • Focused subject matter. Each book deals with only one area of study, placing maximum emphasis on skills related to that subject.

  • Mixed skills approach. Our books are not repetitive or drill-focused like others on the market. Instead, we give students practice in a variety of skills in each lesson. This approach keeps students engaged and improves long-term retention.
 
  • Portable and easy to use. You don’t need a computer, or even a desk, to use the Summer Skills books. With convenient spiral bindings, they are easy to use anywhere. Which means students are not adding more screen time to their summer. Each book has just the right content to get the job done.
 
  • Standards-based content. Summer Skills books support the Common Core Curriculum and the standards of all 50 states. The books keep students on task by targeting skills most in need of reinforcement.
 
  • Build student confidence. Whether students need a simple review or remedial help, our books send them back to school prepared and confident.
 
  • Affordably priced. For the approximate price of two movie tickets you can give a student a summer of continued learning.
 
  • Backed by outstanding service. Summer Skills takes pride in offering exceptional customer service. We encourage teachers to call us with questions, suggestions or comments about the books and their content. Please call—we love talking with our customers!
 
Summer Skills would like to be part of the solution and remind you that our Summer Skills review books can be ordered online and shipped directly to students’ homes.
 
Please order online at our website www.summerskills.com or email us any questions you might have. Feel free to call us at 800-411-8186.
 
Our distribution center remains fully operational supporting the students of our nation.
 
Sincerely,
The Summer Skills Team

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
