September is Attendance Awareness Month!

Every day at school is an opportunity to learn, connect, grow, and belong. This month, Saginaw ISD is joining schools and families across the region in highlighting the importance of regular attendance.

The goal is simple: Strive for Fewer Than 5 absences this school year. Because when students are in school, they have more opportunities to build relationships, strengthen their skills, and stay connected to their school community.

Every day counts. Attendance matters. Strive for Fewer Than 5! Learn more at fewerthan5.com.

Effective Tier 1 instruction across content areas at the secondary level requires careful attention to lesson design, development, and delivery. With intentional planning and the proper support, all students can meaningfully access and engage with content-area texts.

This two-day training will explore instructional decisions and evidence-based strategies that strengthen students’ ability to comprehend complex content at the secondary level.

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.

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
