Principal's Message:     On Friday, April 23rd, Dr. Laatsch released a community message to SAS families.  Please take a few minutes to read the links below. As a school district and a community, our focus is unity and growth and our responsibility to engage in constructive dialogue.  Thank you to all Saline Middle School families for taking the time to read the important messages below.

  Principal's Message:     Happy Ramadan for those who observe!  If you have a student who is fasting and does not wish to be in the cafeteria during lunch times, please reach out to Alex Schukow or Laura Washington as we will find an alternative location.  Thank you!

As we transition back with the majority of our students in the building, the drop-off loop in the morning has become a bit congested and some students are not making it to their first hour classes on time.  It may be worth leaving your homes a few minutes earlier in the morning. Also, the front loop (by the main office) is for extenuating circumstances only.   It should not be used as a regular drop-off space.  Thank you for your attention to this matter. Finally, we are noticing that many students are tardy to their classes because we have reduced the passing time from 10 minutes to 6 minutes.  We will begin implementing tardies beginning on...
