MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL VAN
Greetings Salemwood Families!
Wow we are already into December and 2021 is almost over! We look forward to welcoming 2022! As I look back onto 2021, I am very fortunate for all the wonderful, hard working, dedicated Salemwood staff and educators that I am lucky to work alongside each and every day. I am also very lucky to be able to have all our students in school. On behalf of our Salemwood family, we wish you a happy and safe holiday season.
Families needing help or Families wishing to help others:
With the holidays coming up, if you or someone you know is struggling and are in need assistance, please email me so that we can connect you to resources/supports. If you would like to donate to our Salemwood families, you are welcome to send a check made out to Salemwood School. The money will be put towards assisting a student or family in need.
We have a Salemwood Boutique that has new or slightly used clothing, coats, jogging pants, socks, underwear, etc. that our students and families can "shop" at. We are always looking for donations of clothing, especially different size jogging pants, new socks and underwear.
We also have 2 clothing bins that are located on the K-4 and 5-8 plaza. If you are cleaning out your closet and are getting rid of your clothes or bedsheets, shoes, etc. you can drop them off in the bins. Our school benefits from the items that you place into these bins.
Cold Weather/ School Drop Off Reminder
With the weather getting colder, please make sure that our students are arriving to school as close to the time that school start times as possible. Unfortunately, we do not have any additional staff to supervise our students before the start of the school day. We appreciate your support and understanding. Kindergarten- Grade 6 school hours are 8:15am-2:15pm; Grade 7 and Grade 8 school hours are 8am-2:20pm.
Please reach out to me at vhuynh@maldenps.org if you need any assistance, have any questions, concerns or suggestions.
Thank you!

I consider myself fortunate to work at the Salemwood School. I was a seventh grade teacher when the Salemwood School first opened! I taught for twenty four years (twenty of them as a middle school teacher) before becoming an Assistant Principal. This is my fourth year as an AP and I enjoy working with the staff, students and families every day.
