Salem Community Schools

Hey SHS Class of 2038....we are ready for you! Kindergarten registration will be held at Bradie Shrum Elementary School on April 3! Please see the flyer below for more information!

UPDATE 10am: Our phones are now operating normally! Thank you for your patience. We are currently experiencing an issue with our phone system. If you need to reach us this morning, please use email or mesage us. Calls coming into our schools are not connecting but we can call out so we can return calls as needed. We will update when service is back to normal.

The health centers at SCS are seeing an increase in seasonal illnesses including Flu A, strep, and other illnesses. While attendance is vital in order to get the best classroom experience, there are instances where students/staff should stay home. Along with increased cleaning protocols at school, we need your help! Please monitor your child's symptoms and do not send them to school sick. Stay home until symptoms are better, fever free WITHOUT meds for 24 hours, and no vomiting or diarrhea in 24 hours. Remind students the importance of washing their hands with SOAP and WATER and not just using sanitizer. Cleaning jackets, hats, shoes, and/or anything brought to school are all best practice! If you have any questions regarding sending your student to school please reach out to the school nurse, Mrs. Bowers at 812-883-3700 ext 4022.

We have been notified several parents received some odd "test" notifications from the PowerSchool app this morning. We reached out to PowerSchool, and they told us their "Mobile App Team was conducting tests for the new mobile app's notification system, and unfortunately, this inadvertently triggered a test notification". If you received the notificaiton, you can ignore it.

As winter weather season approaches, please read this announcement on ways to stay informed of delays and closures for SCS.
