A Note from Ms. Sickler

To our Harvest families celebrating, Ramadan Mubarak.  If your child is fasting and needs any accommodations during the school day, please reach out to your child’s teacher or myself.  We are happy to work with your family to support your child.

This is your opportunity to share your thoughts regarding your child as we begin the placement process for the 2022-2023 school year.

Many factors are taken into account when creating classroom assignments. Our primary concern is creating well-balanced classrooms that create optimal learning opportunities for all children.

This is NOT an opportunity to choose your child’s teacher for the upcoming school year. This is, however, an opportunity for you to provide us with information about your child so we may make every effort to appropriately place your child where he or she will have the greatest success.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

District Notes

From Dr. Laatsch’s Community Message:

Click HERE for the News and Notes for additional events and activities happening in the Saline Area Schools.

As most of you are aware, this was our first week in the District for this school year where masks are highly recommended, but not required. I have visited many buildings throughout the week and the students and staff are doing an excellent job creating an environment where it is fine to wear or not wear a mask.

We will continue to follow the guidance of the Washtenaw County Health Department (WCHD).
