WAY TO GO!
We know that you want to know everything that goes on with your child, but most of all, you want your child to be known by the teachers and recognized for their unique set of abilities. Way To Go is a strategy, researched and developed by Salem's long time Head of School Dr. Mary Beth Gaertner, used to establish positive communication between parents and teachers. You will always be your child’s most impactful influence, and as long as students are still learning in classrooms, teachers are the second most important. We finally found a way to partner successfully with you as the parents of our students, to discover your expectations, and to WOW you- by talking with you about your children! We have found the WAY TO GO!
