Congratulations to the Salisbury High School Class of 2024! Graduation was one for the books and will hopefully be a cherished memory always. As you embark on whatever your next path looks like, I’d like to wish you happiness and success along the way. Best of luck on this crazy road called life.

We made it! The official last day of school for the school year will be June 10. June 7 will be an early dismissal for all students. Students at SHS and Salisbury Middle School will dismiss 12:15 p.m. and Salisbury Elementary School will follow 1:15 p.m.

With the end of the school year quickly approaching, we understand some students rely on the schools for consistent meals. Should you or someone you know be in need of meal sites, there is a summer meal site finder. The easiest way to access this is to text “Summer Meals” to 914-342-7744 or to call 866-348-6479. Our school guidance counselors and social worker are also available to assist with these needs.

The township yard waste drop off sites are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. The Devonshire site will be open June 6 and 8 and the Franko site will be open June 10, 13 and 15.
