New Event Calendar
You may have noticed, we’ve added a “Calendars” drop down menu to our homepage. This menu includes a link to the 2018-19 High School AB Calendar and our new “Event Calendar.” We have combined our Event Calendar with our Athletics Calendar display and both are available in the two menus, Athletics and Calendars.
When you open the calendar you will notice a menu to the right of the activities listed by day and time. Use the calendar box to view a list of activities for the date you selected or the “View By Type” to find activities by type i.e. Athletic Competitions, Fine Arts, Athletic Practices, etc. We hope you will find our new Event Calendar helpful.

Statewide Testing & Assessment 2018-19
Like other schools across Oregon, North Salem High School administers the Smarter Balanced Test (SBAC) for both English Language Arts and Mathematics to 11th grade students. While no test can give a complete picture of students’ progress, our staff use statewide assessment results for a number of purposes including:
- Detemining a student’s strengths and weaknesses to help target interventions and extensions which support and challenge each student at their level.
- Ensuring our students have the knowledge and skills to compete with their peers in Oregon as college and career ready graduates.
- Evaluating our school instructional practice to best support students in their growth as academic learners.
- Providing an opportunity for students to meet Essential Skills Graduation Requirements for Reading, Writing, and Math.
Additional information can be found on the form linked here: Opt Out Information 2018-19
If a parent would like to opt out their student for testing, please contact Curriculum Assistant Principal, Michael Contreras through our main office.
