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.

It takes all of us to make our schools special! 💙
Jerome Preschool Custodian Alex Rutledge says one of the best parts of his job is getting to spend his days around our students—and judging by these smiles, the feeling might be mutual! 😊
From keeping our learning spaces clean and welcoming to being another friendly face our students see throughout the day, team members like Alex are an important part of the school community.
Thank you, Alex, for helping make Jerome a great place for our littlest learners!

Learning the Rules of the Road—Behind the Wheel! 🚗
SOAR students in Driver’s Training are getting hands-on practice with our new driving simulator! Students can experience a variety of road and driving conditions while building their skills and receiving real-time feedback on their performance.
From navigating different scenarios to practicing safe decision-making, the simulator gives students an engaging way to strengthen their confidence and put the rules of the road into action before hitting the road.
What a great addition to the learning experience for our SOAR students!

Hard at Work at the Panther Pack Café! ☕
Our post-secondary ASD students from Millet Learning Center were hard at work this morning at the Panther Pack Café in Birch Run!
From wiping tables and counters to sweeping floors, cleaning windows, moving chairs, and making sure the café was ready for the next group of customers, our students were busy putting their employability and independent living skills into action.
These real-world work experiences give our students opportunities to practice responsibility, teamwork, following routines, and taking pride in a job well done.
We are proud of the effort, determination, and growth we see from our students every day!
Great job, Mustangs!

Students from across Jerome STEM Preschool came together for a collaborative recess experience, giving them the opportunity to meet new friends and build connections with peers from across our campus.
There’s nothing but smiles when you’re having this much fun! We love seeing our students learn, play, and grow together.

Our custodians do so much more than keep our buildings clean. They help create safe, welcoming spaces where students can learn, staff can work, and our entire school community can thrive.
Much of their work happens behind the scenes, but its impact can be seen and felt every single day. From early mornings to late evenings, their hard work, attention to detail, and commitment to our schools make a difference across Saginaw ISD.
On School Custodian Appreciation Day, we’re proud to recognize and thank our incredible custodial teams for everything they do.
Custodians, we see you, we value you, and we appreciate you! 💙🧡

Learning looks a lot like play at Brucker! 💛
From building and creating to exploring outdoors, working alongside friends, and bringing colorful ideas to life, our preschoolers are learning through every part of their day.
Each activity is an opportunity to build new skills, practice independence, strengthen friendships, and discover something new — all while having plenty of fun along the way!
We love seeing curiosity in action at Brucker! 🌟

The library is hosting these sessions on October 7th, November 11th, and December 9th, at noon, free to the public. If you have been meaning to practice mindfulness during your lunch break, this may be for you!
Just look at these Early Head Start students visiting Jerome STEM Preschool's lending library. Thanks to a generous donation of books, our students have the opportunity to extend the literacy instruction happening at school into their homes, giving families another way to learn and grow together.
And here's a great reason to make reading part of your everyday routine: the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends reading together beginning at birth, noting that shared reading helps build the foundation for language, literacy, cognitive, and social-emotional development.
A book may seem like a simple thing, but the conversations, connections, and learning that happen around it can have a lasting impact.

Joyce is always eager to welcome every family to school each morning. Her passion for supporting families as they grow and thrive is truly commendable. If ever there is a family in need, Joyce is quick to step in, offer support, and provide help wherever possible.
Joyce, thank you for the compassion, care, and dedication you bring to our families each day. Thank you for making such a significant impact on our campus and for being someone our families can count on.

🔍🌳 Little scientists at work!
With observation tools in hand and curiosity leading the way, our Murphy Farm Preschoolers took a closer look at the world around them!
Students examined trees up close, discovered details they may not have noticed before, and sketched their observations like real scientists. They also learned about the life cycle of a tree and how a tiny sapling begins its journey toward becoming something much bigger. 🌱
Hands-on exploration like this gives our youngest learners the opportunity to ask questions, make discoveries, and experience science right in their own backyard.

As Suicide Prevention Month comes to a close, the conversation doesn’t have to. 💜
This October, the Great Lakes Bay Region Mental Health Initiative invites our community to continue talking openly about the realities of youth mental health and the impact of suicide with a special screening of My Sister Liv, a powerful documentary that explores one family's journey through loss towards understanding and hope.
Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion. This event supports our efforts to reduce stigma, raise awareness and encourage open conversation. By sharing Liv's story, we hope to spark dialogue, break down barriers to seeking help, and ultimately save lives.
📅 Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 p.m.
📍 The Temple Theatre
Mental Health providers will be in attendance, and youth (14 and older) will need to complete an exit slip to let organizers know if they would like follow-up support for themselves or a friend. The event is appropriate for ages 14 and older and FREE to attend, though registration is required. REGISTRATION LINK HERE: https://givebutter.com/10-21-26-my-sister-liv
As we move beyond September, let’s continue creating space for conversations that remind young people—and one another—that you are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 for support.
