Feedback Needed!! SAS families and community members are encouraged to participate in a survey to guide future educational strategies and investments related to career and technical education. The survey, conducted by Hanover Research on behalf of the Washtenaw Intermediate School District (WISD), should take less than 10 minutes to complete and closes on January 17. WISD will receive survey results only in aggregate form and no personally identifiable information will be collected or reported.

Add for secondary only: Students in grades 6-12 may be asked to complete this survey during Hornet time in the coming week. Families may preview the survey and reach out to Musetta Deneen with any concerns about their students’ participation.

• 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.

Michigan's Hot 50 Job Outlook

Saline High School is partnering once again with Ann Arbor Area Schools to host our annual college and career fair. We alternate locations yearly and this year's fair will be held at Ann Arbor Pioneer High School on April 2, 2025 from 6:00-7:30. We are expecting 75+ colleges to attend. This is a great event for sophomores and juniors to enhance their college exploration experience.

Students will attend Hornet Time on Wednesday each week.

Students in an SWWC class during 2nd hour will have Advisory with their 2nd hour teacher. They will not have a "Hornet Time" listed on their schedule.

The "Be Good People" curriculum is referenced often throughout the year. Information on this curriculum can be found here: Life Skills - 9-12 Core Edition (google.com)

January 15, 2025: Student Resource Time (SRT). All students will attend SRT or have a study hall to complete work.

All classes will also view Hornet Nation and SHS Today student news shows each week as they are published.
