SHS Community,

As you all know, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is on Monday! Although this is a day off of school, this national holiday was intended to be a day of service in honor of MLK and the civil rights movement. As a result, the Students Against Racism club here at the high school compiled a list of activities/events in a Google Doc below that members of our community can partake in to use the day as it was intended. We invite you to do your part and share this doc with your class to help spread awareness around MLK day!

Thanks for your time,

Students Against Racism

• Failing grade letters will be emailed out to students and families on Thursday, January 23. These letters will be issued if a student currently has a 0-59% in one or more classes. As a reminder, Saline High School has a variety of Tutoring/Support options. Click Here to view our tutoring options.
• Late Arrivals/Early Dismissals- please help us remind students that they need to sign in/sign out at our attendance desk (Auditorium Entrance/Door 5) anytime they arrive at school after 7:50 AM or need to leave school mid-day.
• We would like to remind our families and students that Saline High School operates under a closed campus lunch policy. Students are required to remain on-site during their lunch period. They are welcome to enjoy their break in the Cafeteria/Commons area or other designated spaces within the school.

• Attendance Risk Notification- Once a student reaches our attendance policy limit of 7 absences in one or more classes (excused “A” and unexcused “U” absences combined), PowerSchool will generate an attendance risk notification to inform students/families that the attendance policy has been reached/exceeded.

• Medically Excused Absences (M)- Absences due to medical appointments or reasons, when accompanied by a doctor's note, will be adjusted in PowerSchool to (M) for medically excused once a doctor’s note has been submitted. Parents/Guardian may upload a copy using the Medical Note Submission Form or students may drop off a hard copy of the note to the Attendance Desk. If there is specific information that our administrative, teaching, special education, counseling or nursing staff need to be aware of, please communicate important information directly to them. Make Up Classwork: Students are awarded the same number of days they were absent to make up missed assignments, providing the absence(s) are excused.

The Saline Unified Sports team has been working hard to make unified sports a reality in our district. Along with games scheduled against Dexter and Milan during the season for the high school, we are also playing Dexter at Little Caesar's Arena before a Pistons game on Friday, January 31. Heritage will also be competing against Dexter.

Our Unified program receives $5 for every ticket sold and will receive an additional $500 if we sell over 100 tickets.
