Week of 5/2/2022
Let's Appreciate Salk's Teachers and Staff!
Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week is this week. As you know, every member of our staff is working harder than ever this year. In addition to supporting our students' academic growth, our staff is also working so hard to support our students' individual social, emotional, and behavioral needs.
As we prepare for Appreciation Week, I encourage you to work with your children to pick at least one member of the staff who is making a difference in their life. Then send that staff member an email, have your child draw a picture, send in a card, etc., to let them know. These small gestures take just a few minutes and mean SO MUCH to our deserving teachers, office staff, custodians, support staff, and lunch aides.
Salk Elementary Spring Concert
Dear Families,
Our spring concert is coming along! Due to the large number of students participating in the concert, each student in grades 1st-3rd will be limited to 3 guests per family in order to seat everyone in the auditorium. We appreciate your support, patience, and adherence to this format. I look forward to sharing all our hard work and talents with you.
Save the date!!
Tuesday, May 3rd @ 7pm at Fraser High School
Salk is proud to present Water Dance

M-Step Testing Dates
Each spring, the State of Michigan and the US Department of Education (USDE) require us to assess students in certain subject areas through the M-STEP, PSAT and SAT. The assessments provide the district with a snapshot of student achievement at the state, district, and building levels. Individual student results will also be shared with parents.
The tentative assessment dates for M-Step are as follows:
5th Grade
Tuesday, May 3: Science MStep
Thursday, May 5: Social Studies MStep
4th Grade
Tuesday, May 3: ELA MStep
6th Grade
Wednesday, May 4: Math MStep
Wednesday, May 11: ELA MStep
Please ensure that your child is well rested on their testing day. They should come to school with a fully charged iPad .
Please note- We have makeup days built into our testing schedule, so if your child is exhibiting any symptoms of illness on their testing day- be sure to keep them home.
