💙Falcon Day!💙
Our first grade family picnic had a special guest appearance from our Salem Falcon this afternoon!








We are thrilled to announce that Ms. Aly Schmidt has been hired as our new Assistant Principal for Middle School! Please help us congratulate her!
"I received my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from Cardinal Stritch University in 2002. I started my teaching career at Salem in August of 2002 and spent my first year as a 3rd grade teacher. The following year I moved to 5th grade and have truly enjoyed the two decades spent in that grade level. In addition to teaching, I have coached basketball, volleyball, cheerleading, and softball at Salem. In 2013, I became the Salem Summer School Coordinator/Director. I was immensely proud of the program we built and grew during my time as leader.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. My daughter, Paige, will be a Senior at Burlington High School next year. My furbaby, Turkey, rescued us a few years back and is the love of our lives! I am an avid Supercross/Motocross fan, a loyal Duke basketball fan, love the Florida beaches, and being at Disney World!
I am thankful for the chance to serve as the Assistant Principal in middle school. Salem has been my home and my family over the past 21 years and I feel honored to be able to continue this journey as a leader. I am looking forward to an exciting and bright Falcon future!"



Fourth graders have been experimenting with different types of paper airplanes. Students are designing and flying them! One of the challenges was to see which airplane could fly the longest distance!

Inside Out Day!! Have a wonderful weekend Falcon Families!


Mrs. Bruni's second grade class hosted their last parent job presentation today. Mrs. Vostatek came in to talk to the class about working at a bank. She brought in a piggy bank with some uncommon money ($2 bill, gold dollar, half dollar) for the kids to look at. She talked about working with the community and helping people who get scammed. She also told the class that she developed her bank's online app - how cool is that! Additionally, she brought the class some cool shades and a change pouch. Thanks, Mrs. Vostatek!!






At the PTO Spring Dinner and Auction, Gio, a Salem sixth grader, won the open gym raffle and was able to spend extra time in the gym yesterday with some friends and Mr. Cates! They also received goodie bags from the Salem PTO!

As the end of the school year approaches, we would like to take this time to remind you to pick up your child’s medication in the nurse’s office before the end of the last day of school (by June 2nd at 11:30am). It is preferred that medication be picked up by an adult. Since your medication is considered over the counter, we are able to send home with your student but will require permission from a parent/guardian.
Any medication not picked up will be discarded. Medications will NOT be stored at
school over the summer. As a reminder – medication administration forms must be
renewed annually.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Please help us welcome Ms. Kate Flanagan, our new Special Education Compliance Coordinator!
Kate received her undergraduate degree in Physical Education and Health Education from Carthage College. She began working as a Special Education Teacher in 2011 in Kenosha Unified while continuing her education at Carthage, pursuing and completing her Master’s Degree in Special Education and Educational Leadership.
During her time in Kenosha she had the opportunity to work in a variety of academic settings but was focused and dedicated to student social-emotional learning in their EBD setting. She then transitioned to Racine Unified and took on the role of Program Support Teacher and Diagnostician where she led professional development aligned with special education and school improvement plans, mentored and coached teachers on effective classroom strategies as well as conducted diagnostic work associated with special education evaluations.
Upon returning to Kenosha Unified in 2018, she took on her current role of Special Education Case Manager. As a Special Education Case Manager she has had the unique opportunity to work closely and collaboratively with classroom teachers, support staff and administrators to monitor IEP implementation, write initial, annual and reviewed IEPs as well as focus on building strong relationships with staff, students and the surrounding community.
Kate’s work is rooted in the belief that a school community built on positive and impactful relationships where students feel valued, safe and cared for is one that promotes the greatest opportunity and strongest foundation for student growth, engagement and learning.



Gooooo Team!! 📣Ms. Glassen wants to make sure we are all ready for Jersey Day tomorrow!
