Saginaw ISD - Serve - Innovate - Empower

Teacher rotations are in full swing at Millet Learning Center! 😊📚

Students are building confidence as they move between classrooms, learn from different teachers, and adjust to new routines and learning environments. Each transition is another opportunity to practice flexibility, independence, and important skills for success.

Millet Learning Center students are riding high and building confidence during Adaptive PE! 🚲

Adaptive bicycles give every student the opportunity to move, explore, build independence, and experience the freedom and joy of riding a bike.

Mr. Berry’s class is on the move! 🚲💪☀️

Students at Millet Learning Center enjoyed some time in gym class riding bikes, staying active, and having fun together. There’s nothing better than learning, moving, and enjoying a little sunshine along the way!

Washing hands seems like a simple daily task, but it’s actually one of our very first lessons in healthy relationships—starting with how we care for ourselves!

This week, Miss Amy's class at Millet Learning Center kicked off our unit by exploring what healthy vs. unhealthy relationships look like, and the students were so engaged! Now, we’re bringing it back to the basics: self-care and personal hygiene.

Orange Spot Recognition: Tracie Brewer & Kate VanTonne 🧡

Executive Director of Human Resources Andrea Wise would like to recognize Tracie Brewer and Kate VanTonne with an Orange Spot nomination for the gold-standard customer service they provided to a candidate throughout the interview process.

Their impact was so meaningful that the candidate took the time to personally thank Tracie and Kate and share an email about the experience. They described the interview process as organized, welcoming, and professional, adding: “I know that kind of experience does not happen by accident. It reflects the culture of the organization.”

That feedback speaks volumes. An exceptional employee experience begins before someone ever becomes an employee, and Saginaw ISD’s culture is reflected in the way people are welcomed, supported, and served from their very first interaction.

Thank you, Tracie and Kate, for creating such a positive and memorable candidate experience and for demonstrating what gold-standard customer service looks like in action! 🧡

This week, the Wellness Committee is highlighting the importance of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and how it can positively impact our work and relationships. From self-awareness and self-regulation to empathy, motivation, and social skills, strengthening our EQ can help us manage stress, communicate effectively, and build stronger connections with others. Take a moment to check out the flyer and reflect on how you can put EQ into practice each day! 💚 #sisdwellness

🧡 BIG ORANGE SHOUT OUT! 🧡

Special Education Supervisor Jessica Bluhm would like to give a BIG Orange Shout Out to School Social Worker Courtney Wright!

Courtney has been an incredible support to students and staff during these first two weeks back to school. Her unwavering commitment to helping students regulate their emotions, work through difficult moments, and successfully transition back into the school routine does not go unnoticed.

Even when the days are tough, Courtney shows up with patience, compassion, positivity, and heart. She is always willing to jump in, support a student, collaborate with a team, and do whatever she can to help.

Thank you, Courtney, for the love and dedication you bring to the students and teams of St. Charles Community Schools every single day. We are so lucky to have you! 🧡👏

🎶 The classroom was jamming yesterday at Millet Learning Center! 🥁🎵

Students in Ashley O’Brien’s class turned indoor recess into their own music session, exploring different instruments, making some noise, and having plenty of fun along the way!

Who needs sunshine when you can make your own rhythm? 🎹🎸🥁
