The fifth grade at South Salem School has a student enrollment of about sixty-five students, with four classrooms located downstairs.

Fifth grade is self-contained this year. The three fifth grade teachers are Mrs. Crowder, Ms. Fechko, and Mrs. Stratton.

Students will take three SOL tests in fifth grade: reading, math, and science. These tests will be given in May.

Students also enjoy an activity block each day which includes art, music, physical education, library, guidance, and D.A.R.E. instruction.
