Parents and educators understand the importance of parental controls on student devices, but keeping teens safe while using smartphones and tablets can be an enormous challenge. Fortunately, both Apple and Android devices have some great built-in options that can be customized to fit individual needs. These parental control tools can help parents make sure students only see age appropriate content so they can keep students safe in the online world.

Gingerbread House day was a day of sweet creations in Ms. Simmons' Class! 🏠✨
This week 4th grade students participated in Secret Santa, with a twist! Each student picked a name out of a hat and created an acrostic poem with their Secret Santa's name. The students worked hard at finding kind adjectives to describe each other and did a great job keeping it a secret! They shared their poems this week and it was wonderful to see the students spread some kindness throughout the class!

The Salem Staff kicked off our last week before winter break with a delicious taco lunch today, sponsored by the Salem School Board! De La Rosa's Taqueria served up tacos, rice, beans and chips with fresh guacamole and all of the fixings for our staff, and our amazing Salem PTO sponsored a fabulous table of sweet treats for dessert! Staff got to enjoy their lunches together and stop by the Selfie Station to take a team picture and a DIY ornament. Thank you to our School Board and the Salem PTO for sponsoring this delicious meal and dessert, it was a fun way to kick off our week!
