Saline Middle School Hornet Highlights for Sunday, January 10, 2021
Principal's Message:
Welcome to the first hybrid week of 2021! As we head into in-person learning, it essential that families report the following to the Saline Middle School Office:
- If your student is currently in quarantine for testing positive or having symptoms within the past 10 days or are awaiting test results
- If your student has been identified as a close contact to someone who has tested positive within the past 10-14 days
- If you have traveled outside of the United States in the last fourteen days
On a different note, but equally as important, in our first week of the 2021 school year, the insurrection of the US Capitol Building on January 6, 2021 was a major historical and news event. It is also an emotional one for both adults and children. We encourage any families who have concerns about their child’s mental or physical health to reach out to their school administration, school counselor or social worker.
