WEST SALEM, Wis. (WKBT) On March 16th of this year, West Salem School District students went home with expectations to return to school in the following weeks. That never happened. West Salem School District worked through many challenges over the last 9 months.
Superintendent Ryan Rieber thinks change is a good thing. It’s also something that’s been a constant over the past year in the West Salem School District.
“Unfortunately it’s been a pandemic but I think in the long run we’ve learned an awful lot from these last 9 months and we’re going to be better for it at some point in time,” said Rieber.

Staff from the West Salem School District hopped on buses to play Santa Claus.
They stopped at the homes of all 1,800 district students to drop off small gifts.
While the kids got the gifts, staff got something special too.
“As we go into the holidays with the way this year has been, it’s just to show a little bit of happiness, a little bit of kindness. And to let the students know that we miss you, we’re looking forward to seeing you again. And we want you to have a great holiday season,” said West Salem School District board member Sean Gavaghan.
