Welcome back, Jaguar families!


What a wonderful week it has been welcoming our students and watching them make connections with their teachers and peers. Thank you to our families for your support in making this fantastic start to the year possible!


The first 3 days of school also held special meaning as Salisbury Academy's 3K and Upper School classes officially launched their new programs. We are thrilled to welcome these new classes as members of our school family.


Safety Preparations and Putting Our Students First


In the days leading up to the start of school, our teachers and staff prepared not only their classroom spaces and curriculum, but they also prepared for the school year through a variety of safety and security trainings. These trainings included CPR and First Aid training, a child abuse reporting training through the Terrie Hess Child Advocacy Center, and a campus security training with Lieutenant Scott Flowers. Our students and their well-being will always be top priority at SA.


Warm Regards,


Beverly Fowler, Head of School

Faculty and Staff engaged in CPR and First Aid training during the staff workdays before the start of school.

Erin Moody, counselor with Terrie Hess Child Advocacy Center, trained faculty and staff on reporting suspected child abuse and providing children with a safe environment in which they can speak freely.

SA Travel: Now collecting feedback and interest levels

In the summer of 2023, SA Travel ventured to Maine's Acadia National Park and the Boston Freedom Trail.

Salisbury Academy is now polling for interest in a June 2024 7-day trip to Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, and Bryce National Park as well as a July 2024 5-day trip to Maine's Acadia National Park and the Boston Freedom Trail.


Might your family be interested in one of these trips? To share your interest and for more details, please email Melody Lee at [email protected]. No commitment is required at this time.
