Dear Salem Families,

 

Welcome to November! The fall season is in full swing and teachers are currently scheduling in person and/or virtual conferences, which will continue taking place through November 22nd! If you haven’t yet met with your child’s teacher we hope you will take the time to do so to hear more about your child’s progress and learning this school year!

 

Have you seen our new Spirit Rock?! Thank you to our amazing PTA for getting this started for us at Salem! Parents, families, and staff members can learn more about this FUNdraising opportunity on the PTA website. We are so excited about this fun addition to our campus!

 

As the holiday season approaches, we’re excited to launch our annual Holiday Hugs gift program, a tradition that brings joy to our families needing some assistance with holiday gifts for their children this year. If you choose to sponsor, we will provide you with the child's clothing sizes and a few interests/wants. To sponsor a child, please fill out this Google form: https://forms.gle/7dJcTxb6TiYFF9Jw9  Once you sign up, Mrs. Allen (school social worker)  will email you with the child's information and drop-off instructions. If you have any questions, you can email Mrs. Allen at kallen8@wcpss.net. Thank you for your generosity and kindness to help make this holiday season memorable for every child at Salem!

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Sarah Oatsvall, Principal
