News on Campus

Welcome to a brand new school year and we extend a special WELCOME to the new students and parents at Salem. All of us at Salem Lutheran School want to make this a successful year for your child.

During the summer, air conditioning and heating was installed in the classrooms thanks to the fundraising efforts of our PTO. We look forward to quieter, more efficient units as we conduct our daily classes!

Back-to-School Night is a special event for parents only. We will have staff introductions, school announcements, and teachers will give parent orientations in the classroom. Mark your calendar for Tuesday, September 7, 7:00 p.m.

Free dress is scheduled for the first Friday of every month. Although uniforms do not have to be worn, dress must be tasteful and acceptable for school. (Example: T-shirts should not have “questionable” words or pictures.)

GREAT NEWS

Simply Giving is an automated giving program designed to help you conveniently pay your child’s tuition. Through Simply Giving, your tuition payments are made through a pre-authorized withdrawal from your bank account.

Your payment is deposited into the school’s bank account on the same day it is withdrawn from your account…at no cost to you.

The Simply Giving program is offered by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans as part of its mission of serving Lutheran congregations, schools and institutions.

If you are interested in enrolling in Simply Giving, please contact the School Office. If you have any questions about the program, contact Jeff Meyer of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans at (818) 526-0230.

Salem has traditionally considered it important to teach and stress good nutrition. Too much sugar and fat in the diet have been proven to be harmful. Many children find it difficult to concentrate and be calm after having eaten “sweets.” Please refrain from sending heavy fats and sugary sweets for children’s lunches. It is important to your child’s learning and physical well being that lunches be nutritious. Please do not send candy, soda, dyed sugar water, sugary icings. Please pack a sandwich, fruit, nuts, raw vegetables, crackers, etc. (Low fat milk is served at school daily.)
