Kindness Award
Salem students were recognized for being kind at the football game last Thursday. Throughout the month students were giving kindness tickets if a teacher had seen them being kind and a few lucky students won prizes if that kindness ticket was picked. Congrats to these kind kids!!
USBE Parent Portal
The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) values your role in your child's education and supports your involvement. USBE's Parent Portal, under law 53-G-806, offers insights into Utah’s public education system, your rights, and ways to engage with schools.
Why Engage?
Research shows that family involvement leads to better attendance, stronger social skills, higher grades, and successful graduation rates. Get involved locally to make your voice heard!

Halloween Costumes
Thursday October 31st is a day many students may choose to dress up for Halloween. Please follow the guidelines below if your student is planning on dressing up so that we can continue to make this an educational day.
Students are only allowed to wear costumes that:
Do NOT violate the district dress code (Dress Code for your review)
Do NOT Use masks or excessive face-paint, which are not allowed
Do NOT Include a weapon or a facsimile of a weapon
Do NOT discriminate against or harass other students, or that creates an intimidating, hostile, demeaning, or offensive educational environment.
If there is any student violating any of the above costume guidelines, they will be asked to change and keep their costume in the office until the end of the day.
