Registration for Preschool Next School Year The time is already here to register your child for preschool. A re-enrollment email came out the week of January 3rd for those currently enrolled. If you are currently enrolled at Salem School or a member at Salem you can register and reserve your spot for the 2022-2023 school year. We will have 3 classes available; 3 year olds, mixed age, and 4 and 5 year olds not yet ready for kindergarten. We reserve the right to place your child in the classroom that best meets your child’s educational needs and our staffing. Registration fees are $100 for the early bird until March 1st, then the fee is $175. Classes are filled on a first come, first served basis. You have the choice of which days you would like your child to come. There’s a minimum attendance of 3 half days up to 5 full days. The cost is $30 for half day, $40 for a full day. Tours will be scheduled individually for those interested. If you have any questions you can call 651-4

On Friday, 8th grade students will be going to St. Croix Lutheran Academy to experience life as a high school student. The rest of our Salem students will get to experience what life will be like next year. They will “jump up” to the next grade level from 10:00 am - 11:00 am and spend an hour with the teacher in the next grade. The teachers are excited to have these students in their classroom to get to know them. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher. On another note, there is a minor change to the lunch menu on Friday. Instead of cheese ravioli as the second lunch option, it will be cheesy noodles. The first option will still be lasagna.

Here is the calendar for the next school year. Please contact the school office if you have questions. 2022-2023 Academic Calendar

Due to the changes with the tuition model this year, School Board has decided to allow families to not pay their registration fee until they know what amount they will get in education grants from the church. This is only for this coming year and not for future years of registration. In order to postpone the registration fee, when you get to the screen to pay your registration fee in the TADS registration process, click on the invoice option (3rd option - Mail Payment) and you will be able to pay the registration fee later (no late fee will be applied). Registration will need to be paid after receiving your educational grant from Salem to save your child’s spot at Salem. If you want to pay the registration fee right away, you are still able to do that as well. School Board and Mr. Klatt would like to encourage all families to fill out the TADS Financial Aid Form as soon as possible. Mr. Klatt uses a summary report provided by TADS and based on your information given to determine ea

Hello Salem Family, Salem’s School Board discussed switching to the new CDC guidelines for quarantining that came out over Christmas Break. The School Board has decided to continue using the same policy we have been all year. We will not be switching to the 5-day quarantining period, but continuing with the 7-day and 10-day quarantine period based on whether you get tested or not. The School Board feels that the policy has been working well for our student body in keeping COVID out of the school. God’s blessings on your day!
