Welcome to Salina Elementary School

 

 

Welcome to our Salina Elementary Website! We are very delighted to have you as one of our visitors searching for information about our school.  Salina Elementary School is full of enthusiastic, hard working and visionary staff. They believe that children can learn if they are provided with safety, love, care, good instruction and high expectations. Every one at Salina is a learner. Staff, administrator, students and parents are all involved in learning and are great contributors to the success of Salina. We are very proud of our accomplishments and the level of achievement that we are striving for. Our goal is to improve test score results for all our students and to make sure that all our third graders leave us reading at or above grade level. We are committed to quality instruction and to providing the staff and the students with the tools and the climate that is conducive to learning

Our school is proud to be launching two effective programs: The first one is for our parents. We provide the parents two hours of weekly workshops that cover the topics of how to talk to our children and how to help them in literacy, math and computers. In addition, we have monthly meetings with the parents, monthly presentations about various topics and celebration activities. We believe strongly at Salina Elementary that parents' involvement is vital for the success of our school. Our school's slogan is "Hand in Hand Together We Can."

The second program is our School Wide Intervention Plan Program which provides intensive support for our struggling students. Our plans range from providing one-on-one or small group instruction to an extended day program in the form of tutoring.

Our school has a good record on the state level. Our report card indicates the grade "B"" and our school has passed the AYP on both tests: the MEAP and the IOWA (ITBS)

We urge you and welcome you to visit our school and see us in action. The future lies between our beautiful walls.

Sincerely,

Nadia Youmans, principal
