Through our Academic and Career Planning activities, seventh grade students created presentations about a career of choice. They researched the core tasks, education and training needed, salary range, job market predictions, and related careers. Based on their research, they reflected on their level of interest in this career. This is just one example of how students explore possible future career interests. While the world of work continues to change, and the students' interests may change, this activity helps them learn a process to explore their future options. Please contact Judy Richter if you have any questions about how our school implements Academic and Career Planning.

💨 Things were "up in the air" in Mrs. Jevitz’s 6th grade classroom! Our sixth grade Falcons had a blast exploring the properties of air — getting hands-on with concepts like compression, expansion, and pressure. Science is always better when you can feel it in action! 🧪 #SalemSchoolFalcons #6thGradeScience #HandsOnLearning #STEMinAction #FalconExplorers

Thanks to Mrs. Kate Flynn, Salem School Psychologist, several spaces around Salem now feature powerful new posters that highlight successful individuals with disabilities — reminding our students that their differences are their strengths. These posters were thoughtfully created by Mrs. Flynn to empower students with disabilities to celebrate their unique strengths and show them that success is possible in many forms. Having a disability does not limit one's potential - many individuals, including highly successful people from all walks of life, have thrived while embracing their differences. The posters feature celebrities and public figures with disabilities so students at Salem can see themselves reflected in inspiring role models. Seeing others who share similar experiences achieving great things allows students to feel more confident to reach their own potential and dreams! Thank you, Mrs. Flynn, for helping students believe in their potential and proudly embrace who they are! 💙 #InclusionMatters #RepresentationMatters #SalemSchoolFalcons #EmpowermentThroughEducation #CelebrateDifferences #DreamBigFalcons
