Saline Hornets Booster Club
The Booster Club is composed primarily of a group of parents of High School athletes who are interested in supporting athletics at the High School. We do this in part by awarding yearly scholarships to four senior athletes whose parents are members of the Booster Club, and by donating our time or raising funds for athletic equipment or projects that fall outside the athletic department budget. The Booster Club meets the second Monday of each month, August though May, at 7:00 PM in the Saline High School library.

Saline Music Parents
The mission of the Saline Music Parents organization is to enhance our schools' music programs and to support our music students & staff. The sole criterion for membership is that you have a child in the Saline (Michigan) music program. If your child is in any music class or ensemble in the Saline Area Schools, then you are officially a member of the Saline Music Parents organization!

Advisory Committees: Through Instructional Services

Curriculim Committees allow parents to participate in the curriculum planning process. Provide valuable input from your perspective by participating in an advisory committee.

Useful Information for parents:

Contacting students during the school day:

• If your student needs to call you from school, remind them to leave a message if they are unable to reach you. Often, a parent’s phone will show that a call was made but no message was left. Remind your student that this can cause unnecessary concern and worry to you.

• If your student asks you to bring a forgotten item to school, be certain you instruct them to check at the office as we cannot interrupt classes.

• If your student needs to leave early, you must give them a note to give to their teacher so they will be dismissed at the proper time. Once dismissed, the student must sign out at the first floor attendance desk. This procedure eliminates many phone calls to the office and consequently to the teacher’s classroom.

• If you need to get a message to your student, please leave a message on their cell phone. Electronic devices are not allowed to be on and/or in use during the day but students can check for messages after the school day has ended.

• If you need to report an absence or if your student will be late, the parent/guardian must call the SHS Attendance Line at 429-8037 and leave a message stating the student’s name, grade, reason for absence/tardy and the name and phone number of the caller. Failure to notify the SHS Office within 72 hours of the absence will result in truancy (please refer to your SHS Student Handbook). For your convenience, the attendance line is available 24 hours a day.
