Salem Hyde Family Scoop
December 2021
Happy December!
December already! As we head into winter, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the cold weather. Students may still have outside activities on good weather days. If your child is in need of winter gear, please let their teacher know or call the main office (315) 435-4570. We will be receiving a donation from Wladis Law Firm again this year. They are donating a brand new winter hat and pair of gloves for each of our students! Students in grades Pre-K - 6th grade will come home with their new winter gear on December 9th. BIG thanks to Wladis Law Firm!

COVID Updates
When your child is experiencing symptoms of COVID, please get your child tested. While you are waiting for COVID results, please keep your child home.
There are COVID vaccination sites popping up throughout the district. These are often advertised on the SCSD Facebook page. When a student is fully vaccinated (two weeks after their second shot) they no longer need to quarantine unless they are feeling symptomatic.

School Spirit Week
One small way we like to lighten up the mood in school is to have spirit week. We had one before our Thanksgiving break and will do another one the week before we leave for Winter Recess. We will send home a flyer with what each day's theme will be and will send it out on Talking Points. We hope your child will be able to participate and have some fun while doing it!
It will be the week of December 20th-24th. Please mark your calendars!
Talking Points
We are thrilled to see so many of our families using the TALKING POINTS app to communicate with teachers and the school. It allows our parents/guardians the ability to:
- Communicate directly and efficiently with classroom teachers
- Communicate with school personnel in the main office
- Read notices that get sent home with your children in their backpacks
- Receive updated information from school quickly
