The Early On team hosted our monthly evening playgroup at the ISD last night. This is in joint collaboration with Saginaw Valley State University College of Education as part of a community partnership grant. The families received a pizza dinner, followed by arts and crafts, literacy activities, gross motor and fine motor activities planned by preservice teachers at SVSU. The families enjoyed their evening and all left with a new fall book to enjoy!📕
We appreciate our community partnership with Saginaw Valley State University! ❤️💙

Every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
Consistent school attendance helps students build routines, strengthen relationships with teachers and classmates, and develop the confidence they need to succeed.
At Saginaw ISD, we know that every student has a story worth celebrating, and every school day is an opportunity to help that story unfold.
📚 Let’s make every day count!

🔨 Building Skills, Giving Back!
Students in the Building Trades program at the Saginaw Career Complex recently put their skills to work for a great cause!
Through a partnership with Saginaw ISD, students had the opportunity to build picnic tables for Hartley Nature Center, gaining valuable hands-on experience while creating something that will benefit our community for years to come.
It’s a great example of how career and technical education goes beyond the classroom, empowering students to develop real-world skills while making a meaningful impact!

🎃🎨 Little Hands, Big Creativity!
Our preschoolers are getting into the fall spirit, one colorful pumpkin at a time! 🍂
Ms. Kaylee and Ms. Megan’s students had a blast decorating pumpkins during small group time, turning ordinary pumpkins into colorful masterpieces!
But the fun didn’t stop at painting! Activities like these encourage creativity, strengthen fine motor skills, and give our youngest learners opportunities to express themselves while having fun alongside their classmates. From bright colors to big smiles, these little artists made some pumpkin magic! 🧡✨

Missing just two days of school each month can mean approximately 20 missed school days over the course of a school year.
That’s valuable time spent learning new skills, strengthening friendships, and participating in meaningful classroom experiences.
We understand that illnesses and unexpected circumstances happen. But whenever possible, establishing consistent attendance habits can make a lasting difference.
Every day is another opportunity to learn, grow, and belong.
Strive for Fewer Than 5!

Showing up today can help shape a student’s tomorrow!
Research continues to highlight the connection between consistent school attendance and academic achievement. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to stay on track academically and graduate from high school.
Every lesson learned, every connection made, and every milestone reached contributes to a student’s educational journey.
Let’s work together to help students build a strong foundation for success!
Strive for Fewer Than 5!

Consider creating your Gratitude Map digitally and saving it as your phone wallpaper so you have a meaningful reminder of gratitude with you each day! 🧡

🍂 A Fun Fall Day at Johnson’s Pumpkin Farm! 🎃
Mr. Rose’s and Mrs. Neumann’s post-secondary students from Millet Learning Center enjoyed a wonderful fall outing to Johnson’s Pumpkin Farm!
Students had a great time exploring the corn maze, enjoying delicious cider donuts, and sipping on fresh apple cider. 🍎 It was the perfect opportunity to get outdoors, soak in the beautiful fall atmosphere, and create lasting memories together!
Beyond the fall festivities, experiences like these provide valuable opportunities for our students to build independence, strengthen social skills, and engage in meaningful experiences within their community.
🍁 A fun fall day was had by all!
#SaginawISD #OurStory
Little hands, big imaginations, and a whole lot of fall fun! 🍃 Students in Ms. Heather and Ms. Alainna’s preschool classes got creative with nature as they worked together to make colorful leaf collages!
Through this hands-on activity, our little learners explored the beauty of fall while practicing creativity, fine motor skills, and teamwork.

While local school districts are responsible for overseeing their individual schools, Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) work alongside them to provide specialized programs, resources, and services that support students, educators, and families. Here in Saginaw County, Saginaw ISD works collaboratively with 12 local school districts to expand educational opportunities and provide services that might otherwise be difficult for individual districts to offer independently.
From special education and early childhood programs to career and technical education, professional development, transportation, and technology support, Saginaw ISD helps connect the pieces that support student success.
Different organizations. Shared goals. One community.

National White Cane Awareness Day is celebrated on October 15th of each year. The white cane is a device that helps our students with visual impairments (VI) to be independent and safe.

One little leaf, endless possibilities for learning! From counting and comparing to observing, discovering, and imagining, our preschoolers are learning that nature is full of academic adventures.
Sometimes, the best classroom is right outside our doors! 🍃

Michigan established its Intermediate School District (ISD) system in 1962 to help expand educational opportunities, provide specialized services, and support local school districts across the state.
But did you know that not every ISD goes by the same name? Throughout Michigan, you’ll find educational service agencies operating under different names, including:
🟠 ISD – Intermediate School District
🟠 RESA – Regional Educational Service Agency
🟠 ESA – Educational Service Agency
While their names may differ, their purpose remains similar: supporting local schools, educators, students, and families through regional programs and services.
