The next School and Family Partnership series session will focus on School Safety and Security, highlighting the new Standard Response Protocol adopted in all seven of our buildings. Participants are invited to ask questions of the District Safety Team and School Resource Officers. Due to the nature of the sensitive content covered, the session will not be recorded. The session will be held Tuesday, October 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Liberty School Board Room. Please RSVP at https://tinyurl.com/sasfamily1015

We continue to have parents wait to pick up students in the staff/special needs lot (see diagram below). It is imperative that pickups happen in the north loop on the east side if you are picking your students up before the end of the day.

In addition, students who have placement during the day that return to SHS should not be parking in this lot.

On the west side, the spots with dotted lines that are in the drop off loop are not for parking during school hours.

We will periodically have monitors out to help instruct those who are in the wrong area for pickup.

Thank you for your attention to this.

Please follow the yellow arrows for our student drop-off loops. Red "X" and blue "*" areas are not for pick-up or drop off UNLESS you are dropping off a student with special needs.

Please contact school administration if you have any questions.

Students should park in lots with a green checkmark. Students who park in areas with a red x will be asked to move their vehicles.

Parking passes are available here: SHS Parking | Saline Area Schools (revtrak.net)

• PowerSchool offers families 24/7 access to grades & attendance related information. On 10/2, we will be sending Failing Grade Notification letters to families via email if a student is failing one or more classes. Included in this letter will also be resources for support.
