According to the CDC, older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Understanding this, please use your best judgment as to whether or not you should attend.

We encourage you to stay home if you are ill or have been exposed to someone who is ill. Stay home if you have a fever.

We encourage families to sit together and appropriately social distance from others. Handshakes should be avoided and consider wearing a mask.

Salem R-80 will not be responsible for personal choice made by those who attend and possibly placing themselves at personal health risk.

Prom

Salem High School has cancelled their 2020 Prom due to the complications of conducting a social event while attempting to maintain social distance. We do not foresee any changes in the Missouri social distance expectations through July. Therefore, we do not feel it is reasonable for the school to attempt to conduct this social event out of the safety for our students.
