Principal Letter

Welcome to the West Salem Elementary School website.  Our school district’s mission is to “Serve With Passion” while our vision here at WSES is “Together...every student, everyone, every day.” We live this mission and vision by providing our students with an environment where their social, emotional and academic needs are met.  We work together tirelessly to ensure that every student's individual needs are met.

Our staff is caring and innovative, and we continuously work to ensure that they are at their best and able to provide our children with the best education in the area.  We are a collaborative and driven group of educators who strive for our students to reach their highest potential.  This exemplifies why our vision is “Together...every student, everyone, every day!”    

We are honored to serve our children, staff, families, and community at West Salem Elementary.  It is a privilege to be a part of this community where parents, teachers, and students care for one another and build positive and lasting relationships supporting our students academically, socially, and emotionally.

Thank you for allowing us to work with your children and your ongoing support of our school district.

Troy Gunderson and Roger Fruit
