Family Engagement

The Salem Public Schools sees the engagement of families and caregivers as a critical component to a successful educational experience for students and providing equitable educational opportunities for all Salem students.  We believe that parents, guardians, and other family members are critical partners in the educational process, and we embrace our responsibility to proactively reach out to all families in a variety of ways to support their engagement in the schools.

We will have clearly defined systems in place for family outreach that provides predictable two-way communication between caregivers and school staff.
