Did you know? Funding generated through Saginaw County’s voter-approved CTE millage is restricted funding. That means these dollars can only be used to support career and technical education—not general operations or unrelated ISD expenses. Originally approved by voters in 2018, the CTE millage will be considered for renewal on November 3. Learn more at www.saginawcountycte.com.

School is back in session, and every day counts!

A new school year is a fresh start and a chance to build strong routines from day one. This year, families across our region are encouraged to Strive for Fewer Than 5 absences.

Showing up helps students learn, build relationships, and stay connected to their school community.

Let’s start the year strong!

Superintendents from Bay-Arenac ISD, Saginaw ISD, Midland ESA, and Gratiot-Isabella RESD joined WNEM TV5 to champion “Strive for Fewer Than 5," a regional effort to improve student attendance and engagement. With support from the 35i Family Engagement Grant, schools and communities are strengthening family engagement, addressing barriers to attendance, and connecting families with resources and support. When students show up, they have more opportunities to learn, connect, and succeed. Every day counts! #OurStory https://www.fewerthan5.com/

Mrs. Polzin’s students at Millet Learning Center are taking time to practice mindfulness! 💛

Using sensory items, students are learning ways to stay calm, focused, and grounded as they settle into the busy back-to-school routine. A great way to start the year with tools that support both learning and well-being!

Millet Learning Center students are taking their skills into the community! 💪

Students from Toni Nagy’s class recently completed their first outing to the YMCA, where they put their skills to work and did a fantastic job. Experiences like these give students the opportunity to build independence, confidence, and valuable real-world skills beyond the classroom.

Way to represent Millet, Mustangs!

Continuing to reflect on last Monday’s inspiring Opening Day event, we are grateful for the thoughtful words shared by our keynote speaker, Raven Solomon. Her reflections on the energy, enthusiasm, and purpose she experienced across Saginaw ISD were a meaningful reminder of what happens when we bring people together around our shared mission. Raven shared: “It was such a privilege to be in the room with Saginaw ISD’s leaders, educators, and staff for Opening Day. Purpose in Action was such a meaningful theme and a beautiful reflection of the work happening across Saginaw ISD every day to bring your shared purpose to life. Thank you for creating such a fun, energizing, and meaningful space to celebrate the people who show up every day for students, families, and the Saginaw community. It was truly a pleasure to be part of it.” Thank you, Raven, for being part of our Opening Day celebration and for your very kind words! #OurStory #PurposeInAction

Fridays are great, but “Free Friday” with this crew is top-tier!

Students in Ms. Amy Kohnert’s class at Millet Learning Center wrapped up the week with a movie, had an absolute blast playing Uno and the fishing game, and soaked up some sunshine outside.

What a fun way to celebrate a great week! Saginaw ISD is excited to see all the learning, growth, and memories this school year has in store for these fantastic students.

The Wellness Committee would like to share a few reminders about the power of prevention and the simple habits that can help support long-term health and well-being. Prevention is about taking proactive steps to reduce the risk of illness and stress before they become bigger concerns. Everyday choices—such as getting enough sleep, eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, and making time for movement—can have a lasting impact on your overall health.

Many preventive habits can easily fit into your daily routine. Taking the stairs, stepping away from your screen for a quick stretch, spending a little time outdoors, washing your hands regularly, and staying current with recommended checkups and screenings are all simple ways to invest in your health. Small actions practiced consistently can help you stay active, resilient, and ready for the moments that matter most.
