Parents and guardians are invited to join Saline Area Schools and special guest speakers for the second session in a series of School and Family Partnership sessions designed to leverage school and community resources for the best outcomes for students and children. The October 11 session will focus on Strategies for Supporting Student Wellness: Starting with Social Media and Digital Devices. Join us on October 11 from 6-7 p.m. at the Saline High School Media Center to hear from experts Dr. Jenny Radesky from the University of Michigan, who will be centering strategies at the Pre-K-3rd grade levels or Robin Batten from the Washtenaw Area Council for Children, who will be focusing on strategies to support 4th-12th graders. As a bonus, all families are encouraged to visit the Saline High School Extracurricular Activities Night in the High School Commons following the session. An RSVP is appreciated by completing the form at bit.ly/44D74a9

There are NO scheduled bus route cancellations the week of October 2. The Transportation Department and many supporting staff from other departments are using all available drivers to cover bus routes. Due to our continued need for bus drivers, unplanned route cancellations due to illness/injury are still possible. The Ride 360 app will be used to communicate unplanned cancellations. Please make sure you have enabled notifications on the app. Instructions to install and use the Ride 360 app are available on the Saline Area Schools Transportation website.

Did you know that our district has a program called Hornets Helping Hornets?

Every once in a while, a Saline Area Schools family needs just a little bit of extra help. When that happens, we want to make it easy for other families to fulfill that need without knowing who the need is for. These needs will include such things as coats, boots, snacks, gas cards, lunch money, etc…

How It Works: The Social Workers from participating schools will enter the need and the school. They will then send out an update so families will know a new need has been posted. A family will sign up to handle the need, then drop it off at the appropriate school to the attention of the Social Worker.

In general when we post a request, we are asking for new items. If we are seeking gently used items we will clearly specify that. If a person has a specific question related to a sign up, it would be very helpful for them to email the social worker in that building directly rather than posting their question on the sign up.
