Welcome Back

SAS Community,

Welcome back! I am very excited to be starting the school year.  During the 2012-2013 school year, we will continue to focus on our mission to equip all students with the knowledge, technological proficiency, and personal skills necessary to succeed in an increasingly complex society. Our primary focus is on improving the academic achievement of all students in the Saline Area School District, with the understanding that we must help ALL students reach their full potential.

This year we will be working to update and refine our Strategic Framework, which is made up of five goals:

Goal #1
All Students will acquire the essential skills and knowledge to meet or exceed standards in reading, writing, and mathematics by the end of Grade 3.

Goal #2
All students will acquire the essential skills to be learners and leaders in an ever-changing 21st Century global society.

Goal #3
Strengthen family-school relationships and continue to expand civic, business, higher education, and community partnerships that support improved student achievement.

Goal #4
Enhance a positive work environment that promotes student and employee well being, satisfaction, and positive morale.

Goal #5
District shall establish short-term financial stability and long-term fiscal solvency.

We will keep you informed through conversations, newsletters, websites, forums, open houses, and phone messages.

I look forward to seeing you in our schools.

Sincerely,
Scot Graden
