A time honored Salem tradition is Falcon Friday! On Fridays our students and staff sport Salem gear or blue and white to show their Salem Spirit💙 We would like all of our students to wear their new shirts this Friday, September 2nd, so that we can take an all school photo of our fabulous falcons on our first Falcon Friday of the new school year! Each student was given a new "I am a Falcon" shirt at open house night. If your student didn't attend open house night, their homeroom teacher has their shirt waiting at school for them! #iamafalcon #welcomeback #salemschoolfalcons #falconfamily #salemspirit #falconfriday

Wishing our entire staff a great school year ahead!😍 #salemschoolfalcons #welcomeback #celebrations #salemstaffrocks

“Hi Salem Families! My name is Colleen Webster and I’m so excited to be a 4K Aide in the afternoon class this year! I live in Salem with my husband Brad, and our three kids - Liam (9), Logan (7), and Gianna (5). We love to hike and swim, travel to new adventures, watch our kids play football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and dance, and cheer for all of the Wisconsin teams, especially the Packers! I'm so looking forward to being a part of this amazing school team.”

Salem School is very excited to partner with the Kenosha County Health Center to offer a preventative dental program for all children K-5th grades, which is funded by WI Seal A Smile! 😁 This will be open to all of our families and will be done here at school on October 17th and 18th. In order for families to secure a time slot for their child(ren), they must complete a permission form and return it to school by September 16th. These forms will be available with your child's homeroom teacher at Open House Night! The goal of the Seal a Smile Program is to bring dental prevention services directly to children in the elementary schools in our Kenosha County community. Many children lack a dental home and access to dental care, including necessary prevention, hygiene, and oral health education services. The Seal-A-Smile program provides those needs as well as oral health assessments, dental sealants, and fluoride applications to teeth, from kindergarten through fifth grade – all at no cost to families.
