Good afternoon West Salisbury Families, this is Mr. Binns your child’s principal. I want to begin by saying Happy New Year to each and everyone of you. I hope you have had a wonderful break and you and your child are ready for a new week in school. As we prepare for school tomorrow, here are a few reminders. School will reconvene tomorrow Wednesday, January 3rd, 2024. School doors open at 8:15 a.m. and is dismissed at 3:15 p.m. Please remember that being on time and attendance plays a major role in your child’s academic success. Our teachers and staff are rested and excited to have our tiger cubs back in the tiger’s den to resume high quality education, so let’s get ready for a great day tomorrow. Please talk to your child tonight about transitioning back to being in school so they can be ready. Well, that is it for now tiger nation, make sure you get a good night’s rest and we will see you in the morning. Tiger’s let me hear you roar. ROAR!!!

Good Sunday Evening, West Salisbury Tiger Families! This is Mrs. Harrington, your Dean of Students, and I'm delighted to bring you some roaring updates from West Salisbury Elementary.
We trust that everyone is enjoying a relaxing, healthy, and safe winter break. A quick reminder – our tiger cubs will be back to school on Wednesday, January 3rd. And as we return from this break, kindly remind your children not to bring any toys or electronics to school.
Now, let's talk about something crucial – attendance. Attendance is crucial for your child's education. Every absence and tardiness adds up, impacting your child's learning. We emphasize this because your child's education is invaluable. Our Tiger Cubs deserve the best, and that starts with consistent attendance. Your efforts to ensure they attend school on time are deeply appreciated. Together, let's provide them with the outstanding education they deserve. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our students' success.
Looking forward, we're diving into iReady and Map Testing shortly after the break. It's the time for our incredible students to showcase their skills and let their brilliance shine! Stay tuned for more details after the new year.
That wraps up our updates for now. We extend our warm wishes for a safe and joyous new year. We are so excited for the learning, laughter, and unforgettable moments that lie ahead at West Salisbury Elementary as we roar into 2024. Now- Tigers let me hear you ROAR--ROAR!!!

Congratulations to last week's Attendance Tigers! These classes achieved the highest attendance rates per grade level, and we applaud their dedication. Well done! Additionally, a big congratulations to Mrs.Shultie's class for receiving the highest attendance percentage in November! These students will be rewarded with tokens from the book vending machine – a fantastic way to incentivize and celebrate their commitment to attendance. Way to go! We'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the importance of attendance. Regular attendance is crucial for your child's education. Even being just 5 minutes late every day results in missing 3.4 days of instruction. If lateness extends to 15 minutes daily, it amounts to missing 10.3 days, and a 30-minute delay daily leads to a staggering 20.7 days of missed instruction. To put it in perspective, if your child misses 2 school days a month, they miss 20 days a year, translating to a loss of 30 hours of math instruction and 60 hours of reading and writing instruction. Every absence and tardiness adds up, affecting your child's learning. We emphasize this because your child's education is invaluable. Our Tiger Cubs deserve the best, and that begins with consistent attendance. Your efforts to ensure they attend school on time are deeply appreciated. Together, let's provide them with the outstanding education they deserve. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our students' success.
Congratulations West Salisbury Tigers!
