School is around the Corner…

The beginning of fall sports practices at the high school this week means that the start of school is right around the corner.  I’m not sure how our students feel, but it’s time to get ready!

It’s been one of the busiest summers on record for Saline Area Schools.  I’d like to thank all of the staff who helped (and are still helping) to get the district ready for September 7th.  Here are some of the things that have happened since school ended in June:

• Closed Houghton School and move kindergarten to HV, PR & WM.
• Reconfigured Middle School to contain 6th grade.
• Reconfigured Heritage to contain 4th grade.
• Over 100 faculty members organized and packed their classrooms.
• Buildings and Grounds staff moved over 100 classrooms.
• Entered into a purchase agreement with Quantum Signal for Union School.
• Began to move all Union School offices and the Alternative High School to Liberty School.
• Began construction on an expansion of the teamroom at the high school stadium with donated funds and a CARES grant.
• Reconfigured traffic pattern on Heritage & Woodland Meadows Campus.
• Resurfaced Middle School and High School tracks with CARES and Sinking Fund revenue.

The list could go on and on…. In addition to all these projects, numerous staff have been meeting to enhance, develop and refine  their curriculum materials for the coming year.  Our technology staff have been repurposing and repairing our computers, along with performing much needed maintenance on our network.

School is around the corner….. and we’ll be ready.
