The open house for grades kindergarten through grade two has been postponed until further notice. More information will follow when students are back home at WSE.

Speaking of the relocation to Salisbury Middle School and Harry S Truman Elementary School, can I just say how fantastic the staff and administration at SMS and HST have been to the WSE staff and students? They have shared their rooms, supplies and even bought us treats. Thank you so much to SMS and HST. It just shows how much of a family the Salisbury Township School District really is.

And to the parents who are wondering how their students are adjusting, I can speak for the third to fifth graders since I am working with them, and say, extremely well. They are learning the layout of the building (as the teachers are as well) and loving having lunch in the huge cafeteria, gym class in the gigantic gym and for those with older siblings at SMS, they love seeing them in the hall. So, have no fear Mom and Dad, your students are in good hands.
