Lockers
Scheduling Concerns
- Obvious errors or omissions of required courses
- Duplicate classes
- Does not have six classes each semester
Our counselors will address these concerns beginning August 31st. Please write "Scheduling Issue" in the subject line. Please note that due to the complexity of our mater schedule and various constraints (class size, traveling teachers, teachers with multiple course and grade level assignments, etc.), we generally are not able to grant request for schedule changes. Please also keep in mind that we do not make changes based on teacher requests.

Beginning Band ONLY
We are thrilled to welcome you to the South Lyon band program! As part of our preparation for the upcoming school year, we are hosting our annual instrument fitting sessions. This is a fantastic opportunity for our new band students to explore different instruments, make their final selections, and get placed into their band classes.
Many of our students have already had the opportunity to try out instruments during their 5th-grade classes. However, these summer sessions offer additional time to make a well-informed choice and possibly change their original selection.
The instrument fittings will take place in the Millennium Middle School Cafeteria and are scheduled for the dates below.
- Tuesday, August 8th from 5-8pm
- Tuesday, September 5th from 5-8pm
We strongly encourage attending the first date if possible, as it helps minimize schedule changes at the beginning of the year.
To ensure smooth running of these events, we have divided the sessions into smaller groups based on last names. If you cannot make your scheduled time slot, feel free to drop in at a time that works for you:
- 5:00pm: Last names A-I
- 5:45pm: Last Names J-N
- 6:30pm: Last Names O-S
- 7:15pm: Last Names T-Z
We look forward to welcoming you to these exciting sessions and helping to set you child up for a successful first year in band! Please reach out to Mrs. Watson at watsont@slcs.us if you have any questions.
Musically Yours,
Mrs. Watson

Immunization Reminder
If you have a student entering 7th grade in September 2022 please make sure their immunizations are up to date before the first day of school on September 5. As of January 2015, school districts can no longer provide immunization waivers. Waiver forms needs to be a certified State of Michigan, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Immunization waiver Form. Schools can only accept the current 2019 State of Michigan waiver form.
Parent/guardians can contact their county health department for more information on certified State of Michigan waivers.
We’re hoping to give families time to schedule any needed immunizations prior to the start of the 2023/24 school year.
