Mr. Sauner, Principal
Mr. Mikovich, Assistant
Principal, District Athletic
Administrator
Hello Western Reserve Families,
First, I’m excited to welcome everyone back for the 2021-2022 school
year. I wish for everyone to know that they have my full commitment to
working with our dedicated staff to provide the best educational
experience for our students and families.
As your principal, I will strive to establish a clear line of communication
internally and externally, as communication is a vital key to success in a
school system. Parent involvement is also vital to a child’s success,
and we ask that all parents continue to play an active role in their
education. For that reason, I want parents and students to know that I
will maintain an open-door policy where everyone should always feel
welcome to come to me with anything they feel needs discussed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions, concerns, or input
at any time.
Our staff recognizes and embraces the role they play in helping children
reach their full potential; they do not take the responsibility lightly. They
believe all students can be successful and this belief drives the work
they do on a daily basis. We are eagerly anticipating a rewarding and
successful 2021 - 2022 school year for our Blue Devil students and
families.
With that being said, we are in the business of educating, our first
priority is the safety of our students and our employees. Be assured, we
have been working diligently on getting the building ready to welcome
students and staff back. Obviously, our desire is to return to school in as
close to normal setting as possible with enhanced safety and cleaning
procedures. However, we must be proactive and be prepared during
these ever-changing times to continue educating our students if and
when circumstances change, as predicted, throughout the year related
to the health and safety of our students and employees.
I encourage our parents to frequently visit our webpage and follow our
social media for up to date and accurate information. Everyone must
understand that our priority is to keep everyone safe while not making
life more difficult for our parents. Each family situation is uniquely
different. We fully understand your varied concerns about health and
safety, distance learning, the importance of face-to-face instruction,
parents needing to work, the economy, and all of the other unexpected
consequences of not being in school or being in school in a traditional
method. As we continue working towards the start of school and
throughout the school year, we will keep you updated and information
will be available through our district website. Thank you for your
continued support and positivity as we strive to do what is best for ALL
of our students and employees during these challenging times.
Sincerely,
Michael L. Sauner II
