The opening week of school will provide time for educators and scholars to build relationships, communicate needed information, and get engaged with school. We look forward to welcoming each of our scholars back providing all the tools they need for the 2024 -2025 school year.

Breakfast is served at Salem High School from 7:15 - 7:45 each morning in the 1st Floor Cafeteria.

Exciting News! Salem High School students now have the opportunity to stay for dinner any day after school! Dinner will be served in the SHS first-floor cafeteria from 3:05 PM - 4:35 PM starting this coming Monday 12/11. These meals are FREE for all students.

Salem High School will be using JumpRope Gradebook to provide timely feedback that makes sense to parents and scholars. This gradebook will allow teachers to report on standards-based performance indicators and convert that to a course grade that most families recognize and understand (A, B, C, D and F).

We are looking forward to rolling out this tool this year to maintain communication with our families as well as provide targeted feedback to all scholars. There will be upcoming virtual and in person sessions to better understand the gradebook as well as how to sign into the jumprope portal. This information will be emailed out the week of September 1st.

The above diagram provides how our standards based grades are connected to traditional grades. You may be asking, why not just use traditional grades? Our standards based grades are directly connected to proficiency scales that our students have access to and explicitly show what a student needs to show and know to earn 2.5, 2.7, etc. JumpRope will allow our teachers to provide feedback and grades on indicators from day one of school that will directly translate to more traditional grades.

There is no place like home...Salem High School builds community with intentional actions.
