Senior InformationParents and Students
Prior to letting school out for the Covid-19 crises the HS staff handed out packets to students that were planning to take the (EOC) End of Course Exams. The plan was to have students turn in the work. However, Last week the Missouri Gov. has issued a stay at home order. Therefore, we will not be accepting this work at this time. We will communicate after the order is lifted as to how we want student work delivered. Sorry for any communication issues. Thank you so much for your support. Marty Anderson High School Principal Parents/ Guardians, I wanted to communicate a couple of items which is on peoples mind, Graduation and Prom. We will plan for and conduct both when it is safe to do so. At this time we have not set a date for either. Josten's will deliver your Senior's purchases at a later date, prior to Graduation. Nathan will be sending out a video to your senior. If you have questions please feel free to contact me at marty.anderson@salemr80.org. We will keep you updated through messages such as this, the R-80 Web Site and your child's school e mail account. Together we will make your Senior's experience a positive one. Please check these frequently for updates. Thank you, Marty Anderson Principal, Salem High School 2020 Emerson Young Artists’ ShowcaseMarch 16, 2020 -- Six Salem High School Art students had artwork juried into the 2020 St Louis Emerson Young Artist Showcase sponsored by the St Louis Artist Guild.

HS Reality FairMarch 5, 2020 -- Students from Mrs. Pryor's Personal Finance class participated in a Reality Fair on Wednesday, March 4th. Prior to Wednesday, the students researched careers and starting salaries, discussed paycheck deductions, and practiced putting together a sample budget. So when they walked into the Reality Fair, their chosen careers and starting salaries were printed on their individual budget worksheet. From there, they visited 14 different booths where they made choices on everything from car loans to apartment rentals to insurance to pets! One booth even contained a "Wheel of Reality" that gave students unexpected expenses or income such as birthday money or new tires for their car. After visiting each booth, bank employees were available to help students calculate their expenses and ensure they had a positive ending balance. Those who were in the red had a chance to get a second job, and those who had money left over were encouraged to put more money towards savings.
Feedback from the students has been very positive! Overall, they feel that the simulation was fun and informative. Several mentioned that it was nice to be able to make personalized choices and see how far their expected paycheck will go. I want to thank Progressive Ozark Bank for giving of their time and resources to organize such a valuable and fun event! I also thank Keith Inman of Inman Insurance and Chris Heavin of Heavin Motors for participating in the event and providing professional information to the students Salem High School Quiz BowlFebruary 25, 2020 -- The Salem High School Quiz Bowl Teams took four individual medals at the Mountain Grove Invitational Tournament on Saturday, February 22.

Virtual art shows from the St. Louis Artists' Guild and from the State Capitol in Jefferson City. 
April 14, 2020 -- Select art students from Salem High School participated in a couple of art shows which were cut short due to social distancing. Teachers worked hard to bring the art shows to you via these video links. Enjoy! Virtual Art Show from St. Louis Artist Guild and Virtual Art show from the Capital Youth Art Month.
Youth Art MonthMarch 11, 2020 -- March is Youth Art Month and we had a great turnout for the Opening Night of the Art Across the Ages show! The show will be on display at the ONCRC until the end of March. Come by and check it out!
HS Social Studies DepartmentMarch 6, 2020 -- The Social Studies Department has been busy with teaching WWII across both World History and American History. Students enjoy the WWII unit more than almost any other, and we include a multitude of activities to engage the students and peak their interests including propaganda research, movies, bingo, web quests, Holocaust research and creating timelines.
Beyond World War II, we have also been preparing our students to take the Missouri Constitution Test in American Government. The Missouri Constitution Test is a requirement for all students to take, and pass for graduation. This can be a stressful time for both teacher and students, but we are confident everyone will do well! In Sociology, students are learning the concepts of socialization, or the process of learning how to socialize with others in an acceptable and appropriate way--something we think students could benefit from learning. In Psychology, students are researching Psychological Disorder, and just finished presenting research about the different types. Geography is wrapping up learning the cultures and landscapes of North and South America. HS Family and Consumer SciencesMarch 5, 2020 -- The FACS Department has started off March like a lion. We have roared into cooking in all the Skilled Cooking Classes AND in Career and Family Living. We are making good use of the new equipment we got from our grant this year. Our new refrigerator is wonderful and if you need a place to fill your water bottle with filtered water and ice, we are the place to come. The new counter-top dishwashers have been more of a conversation piece up to this time. We just haven’t gotten into the habit of using them. We want to thank Tony Miller for putting the adapters on the faucets and hooking the hoses to the machines.
Interior Design class is busy discovering their individual style. Their semester long project will use that style through three different projects. It is a great group of girls who beg to watch HGTV while they work and they do both successfully. A few weeks ago we had some fun presentations about the future of housing and what we can look forward to in our houses in the next 100 years. All of the students seem well prepared to live in a smart house…all of them mentioned advances in technology as a part of the future of housing. Child Development was interested to learn about positive parenting. All of the students seemed to embrace the idea and learned some techniques to use to parent with a gentler hand. FCCLA has taken a breather from our really busy fall and winter. One of the members nominated Mrs. Medlock for the 2020 Excellence in Advising award to be presented at Spring Conference. My hope has always been that I work hard enough to let them work as hard as they can. Upper Elementary Students of the Month
