Students in Ms. Amy Kohnert’s class at Millet Learning Center are having a wheel-y good time riding bikes during gym! Ms. Amy and Ms. Stacey love gym time just as much as their students, especially when it means getting moving, having fun, and enjoying time together. 💙

Communication is about more than words. It’s about having the tools to express needs, share ideas, build relationships, and engage with the world. 💙🤟

As Saginaw ISD continues recognizing Deaf and Hard of Hearing Awareness Month, today’s Did You Know? highlights the individualized communication support available to students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.

Saginaw ISD supports students in developing the language and communication skills they need to express their needs, wants, thoughts, and ideas. Depending on each student’s individual needs, that support may include sign language, oral language, or a combination of approaches.
Every student deserves the opportunity to communicate, connect, and be heard.

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.

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!
