Students from the Saginaw Career Complex (SCC) recently took their learning outdoors during a visit to Hartley Nature Center! As part of their visit, students conducted a walking audit of the property, exploring opportunities for future projects and potential collaborations with SCC’s Building Trades program. This hands-on experience gave students a chance to see how the skills they’re developing in the classroom can make a meaningful impact right here in our community.
We love seeing our Saginaw ISD programs come together to create real-world learning opportunities for students! 👏

Our preschool students at the Saginaw Career Complex had a magnetic time exploring the wonders of science! Students learned about magnets, discovered which objects are magnetic and which are not, and then put their new knowledge to the test! Armed with their very own magnets, they explored their classroom to see what they could find. Hands-on activities like these encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills while making learning fun!
Way to go, little scientists! 🔬🧲

Experiences like these give our students the opportunity to learn from the community around them while making important safety lessons meaningful and memorable.

Throughout the month, Saginaw ISD will be sharing information and resources to help build awareness and understanding of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
AAC includes all the ways a person communicates in addition to, or instead of, spoken words. This may include speech-generating devices, communication boards, pictures and symbols, sign language, gestures, body language, and more.
AAC is not “just a device” — it is a person’s voice, connection, participation, and access to the world around them.
This week, we’re starting with the basics: What is AAC?
💙 Different voices. Different ways of communicating. Every voice deserves to be heard.
