Salem Schools Give Entry Tour With Students Set To Return Monday

SALEM, MA —As Salem students in the youngest grades — as well as sixth graders, ninth graders and some vocational students — prepare to head back to in-classroom learning next week for the first time since school buildings closed in March, school leaders are trying to help with videos showing students and parents what to expect when they arrive for opening day starting Monday.

While procedures regarding check-in upon arrival will be different depending on the school, hand sanitizing stations, directional hallway markers and messages reminding students and staff to be respectful and patient will be omnipresent.

School officials held a virtual town meeting forum this week that can be found here.

Salem Public Schools released both an English and Spanish version here:
