The Great Plains Food Bank is coming to New Salem on April 12th 12:15-1:00. Please see the attached flyer!
Here is the virtual schedule for the 6th-12th grade students today. Please remember to log on as this is part of how attendance is recorded for virtual days.
Good evening,
I wanted to give everyone a better perspective on the decision to have school on Monday. We have had a number of late starts and early dismissals this school year as well as days missed. All but one of the days we missed, we went with our distance learning. We have not made up any of the shortened school days.
It can be a hardship for parents to work with their younger children, if you are unable to complete the work, it is understandable, please do the best you can. For older students, they should be able to work independently, they might just need some encouragement.
We only have a short time before school is out and the teachers still have standards/benchmarks to cover to prepare them for the next school year. In the high school, once the snow melts, we will have students gone often for track and golf.
The last piece to consider are the high winds that are projected through the entire day Wednesday and into the early hours of Thursday, we all know how long it takes to move the snow around in order to get anywhere and for the roads to be cleared.
I feel giving everyone adequate notice about having school on Monday allows parents to plan accordingly. If you are not back in town by then, please contact the appropriate school secretary as the absence is excused.
New Salem-Almont will go to distance learning on Tuesday due to tomorrow's forecast. The official call for Wednesday's school will take place tomorrow, however, if we do NOT have school, we will go with distance learning as well.
Finally, we will have school on Easter Monday.
Congratulations to our March Students of the Month: Sierra Vander Wal, Bristol Rud, Mark Wolff, Owen Berger, and Shila Ritz!
With the chance of another big storm headed our way, I wanted to share our plans if we do have to cancel one or more days of school. If we miss one day of school, we will go with virtual instruction. If we miss more than one day of school this week, we will have school on Easter Monday along with virtual instruction for one or more days. I realize that families may not be back from Easter break, so contact the appropriate school to let us know if your son/daughter will be gone.
The end of March is upon us! Please take a look at our Moo-rific News for March to find out everything that is going on! There is also an article about Fostering Social and Emotional learning at home!

This weekend the trusses will be set on the new building, thus the high school will not have power starting at 4:00PM on Friday through Sunday evening. Thus no one will be able to use the high school gym this weekend.
