Communication

One area where it seems we can always improve is “communication.”  Over the past two years we have tried to develop consistent habits related to communication both internally and externally.  Some attempts have yielded positive results, for example – the “Community Conversations” have provided me with feedback from parents and community members.  We implemented the “Alert Now” automated calling system  across the district to share updates with families about all types of building level news. We have worked to keep the website updated, not only with informational updates like Swine Flu, or upcoming events, but also some of the positive activities of our students and alumni.

As we get ready to start a new year, you can expect emails and automated messages from building principals, frequent updates to the district and building websites, and articles in the Saline Reporter about what is happening in and around Saline Area Schools.  Please feel free to share your thoughts on our level of communication by commenting here – or sending me an email at gradens@saline.k12.mi.us.
