You can order your 2024-2025 Salk Yearbook at Jostens.com. The cost is $35. Please put your child's homeroom teacher's last name when asked for a teacher's name.

At the end of each quarter, our Art Teacher, Ms. Jerke, hosts an Art Show in her classroom for parents/guardians to come in and see various items that the students worked on during each quarter. Our Quarter 2 Art Show is on January 9th, from 3:00 - 4:00 pm.

As we move into 2025, we strongly encourage all families to take a moment to verify your student has all materials ready to go. A quick double-check will help ensure all students have the materials they need to be successful. Here is a list of those school supplies.

Hello Salk families,

The 2024-2025 Salk Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) has recently been formed, and we wanted to do something to help our community. We have decided to do a winter gear drive. This includes new hats, gloves, scarves, and socks. We feel with the cold that people may need the gear. Donating is NOT an expectation or requirement. If you could, it would be greatly appreciated. We will be collecting the gear from January 6 through January 17. The homerooms in second and third place will receive pop, popcorn, and a movie. The homeroom in first place will get donuts in addition to pop, popcorn, and a movie. I hope you all have a wonderful new year!

SMS Parents,

Here at SMS, we continue creating classroom experiences that are engaging and that offer great educational experiences for your student. An important piece of this is ensuring students are in the classroom on-time and ready to learn. Please take a moment to discuss with your student the importance of coming on-time and being prepared in the classroom.

In addition, please know that you can monitor your child's attendance and tardies via Campus Portal. This includes setting up notifications for any attendance issues. Click here for information and support regarding Campus Portal.
