Bus drivers are aware of the conditions and will use their judgement when on the route, which often often leads to late pickups. If you are keeping your child home, please call 843-7610 or contact your bus driver. Thank you
New Salem-Almont Schools and Head Start will be one late today, breakfast will not be served. This means buses will be picking up kids one hour later and we will be looking at starting school by 9:15AM.
See the picture for the semester test schedule for tomorrow and Friday
All 6th - 11th graders take semester tests first semester
On Thursday the test sessions will end at 2:30 -- If students do not need any makeup time, do not have missing work, or do not ride a bus they will be dismissed at this time
Friday the test sessions end at 12:20 if your student wants lunch will be served following the 7th period test -- again if students do not need to makeup any tests, time or have missing work they are free to leave following the final test session.
