 | We are delighted to welcome you to the South Salem Elementary School. Located at the southern end of the Port Washington peninsula, Salem offers children in grades K-5 stimulating and rigorous learning opportunities in a safe nurturing and
supportive environment. Our goal is to provide an instructional program that fosters the intellectual, emotional, social and physical development of each child. By providing teaching that informs, inspires and challenges, we hope to instill a love of learning that continues throughout your child's life. The Port Washington curriculum is aligned with the
New York State standards in English/Language Arts, Writing, Math, Social Studies and Science. |
Students also receive special area instruction in art, vocal and instrumental music, physical education, and library. In addition to a fully equipped technology lab, every classroom has a networked bank of three computers. Our staff also includes: school nurse, psychologist, guidance counselor, speech pathologists, reading and math specialists, an enrichment teacher, TESL teacher and a special education teacher. We are confident that by working together to build a positive collaboration between home and school we can offer quality educational experiences. It is through this coordinated effort that our remarkable staff, involved parents and eager children will strive to ensure excellence in education for all our children.
