CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR RISING NINTH GRADERS!
The Salem Student Services Team is excited to help our students transition into high school!
(Updated 2/23/26)
Registration Process:
Counselors will present a registration lesson with all students through their math classes. The students will then have time to consider their options and talk with their parents about their choices. Then students will complete registration on Infinite Campus within the timeframe. Due to Infinite Campus being a new system we have two additional steps that students will need to complete: Google Form for Salem MS and turn in the paper copy of their registration guides with their choices selected.
Instructions for Registration:
Attend your high school’s curriculum night or review their presentation
You can review Salem's powerpoint for a registration overview.
Review your course guide with your parents and highlight your choices.
