Salisbury Township School District is celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month. Students and community members are encouraged to participate by posting photos on social media according to the daily hashtags. Everytime you post, include the #STSDHHM and the daily hashtag. Today’s hashtag is #Tengo (I have).

Students and parents can now download the Salisbury app. The app includes breakfast and lunch menus, the scores of Salisbury’s most recent athletic events and emergency messages. The school district will no longer be using school messenger to send out messages, so community members wishing to receive these notifications should download the app.

Salisbury High School will host its open house Sept. 19 for parents and guardians. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend the dual enrollment informational meeting 6 p.m. to learn about what classes students can take for college credit. The open house will begin 6:45 p.m. This event gives parents and guardians the opportunity to hear about their students’ classes from their teachers.

At 6:30 p.m. Sept. 30, SHS will host a financial aid night to help senior students and their parents and guardians prepare to apply for financial aid for college. Interested parents should plan to visit the SHS library at that time.

Juniors and seniors should check out the guidance website to see which colleges are coming to visit SHS. During these short meetings, college representatives will provide information about their institutions and answer questions. There are also a couple of immediate decision days for seniors. Interested students should make sure to receive a pass from the guidance office at least one day in advance.

Seniors interested in applying to Lehigh Carbon Community College or Penn State University can attend an application seminar. These seminars will help students fill out their college applications for the respective institutions. Students interested in attending the LCCC seminar Sept. 25 must sign up in the guidance office by Sept. 23. Students interested in attending the PSU seminar Sept. 27 must sign up by Sept. 25.

Registration for the PSAT for sophomores will begin Sept. 16 and continue until Sept. 20. There is a cost for the test which is given on a first come, first serve basis. Sophomores interested in taking the exam should visit Mrs. Moyer’s office. All juniors will be taking the exam, so there is no need to register. The test will be administered Oct. 16.

Finally, Homecoming is quickly approaching. The game will be Oct. 4, with the annual parade prior to the start of the game. The dance will be held 7 p.m. Oct. 5. Make sure to mark your calendars so you can participate in all of the festivities.
