SCHOOL NEWS COVID Update Salem has had a relatively successful start to the school year. We have had only a couple of COVID issues, one affecting a classroom in our school. We continue to follow the protocols outlined in our Back to School Policy and work with parents to ensure that students who are sick are staying home so as to not spread an infection at school. St. Croix Joint Ministry with Salem A one page document has been shared with the church and school about the St. Croix Joint Ministry opportunity. If you would like a link to the update, please contact Mr. Klatt at rklatt@salemlutheran.org. Mr. Todd Russ and Nate Kallies will also be at our next congregational meeting to answer questions and share St. Croix’s vision of the Joint Ministry alongside Salem’s vision. Sports Update Fall sports are in full swing. Soccer was unfortunately not able to have a team, due to a lack of student participants, but those who wanted to are still practicing together.

Dear Salem Families, Our K-8 students will begin MAP testing next week. This test requires some extra focus, so a well-rounded breakfast and some extra sleep will help your children do their best. Also, if possible, please limit morning appointments so your child can participate with the rest of their class. God’s blessings on your weekend!

  Dear Salem Families, Don't forget that tomorrow K-8 students will be dismissed at 12:00 pm and preschoolers will need to be picked up by 11:45 am! No school lunch will be served and there will be no afternoon bus or aftercare available. Please make arrangements to pick up your child at these times. We are sorry to cancel Grandparents' Day as was originally planned but hope to reschedule this event when it is safe to do so. God's blessings on your day!
