Saginaw ISD - Serve - Innovate - Empower

Our SOAR program developed and began a new community worksite partnership with Board and Brush in Saginaw! Students who participate are building skills such as staining, painting, stocking, packaging and drilling and cutting wood for events that are held in the evenings and weekends. We are looking forward to continuing to build this partnership with our local business. #TransitionsCenter #SaginawISD #OurStory

Congratulations to our Director of CTE, Josh Miller, on his first time presenting to the Board of Education this week! Josh provided an update on the continued growth of the Saginaw Career Complex, including nearly doubling student enrollment since the passage of the 2018 CTE Millage. As the fiscal agent of the millage, Saginaw ISD has distributed more than $20 million in reimbursements to our local school districts over time, removing financial barriers and expanding access to high-quality CTE programming for students across Saginaw County.

We’re looking forward to expanding additional programs at SCC, pending approval, and to continuing to build on this momentum. We’re also grateful for the strong partnership with Saginaw Public Schools and for SCC Principal Ben Leal, who attended the meeting and continues to support this important work. Well done, Josh! #CTEMonth #SaginawCountyCTE #OrangeSpot

Ms. Sarah’s class at Millet Learning Center visited the Frankenmuth Public Library for an adult sensory storytime featuring a STEM-themed book. Students also got to watch a drone demonstration inside the library and create a fun hands-on craft. It was such a great experience for our learners! #SaginwaISD #OurStory

SOAR students had a busy morning painting and fixing wood pieces to help volunteers at Sleep in Heavenly Peace. This work is essential in the process of building beds for individuals and families in need in our community. This strong partnership has allowed students to gain valuable work skills while helping their community as well. #TransitionsCenter #SaginawISD #OurStory

This positive ORANGE message came into our preschool comment box this week, and it is a perfect reminder of the great things our leadership team does for our teachers and staff on a daily basis!" Thank you, Ashley Reed, for sharing such a positive message about your supervisor!

"I am coming up on my 5-year anniversary, and in the 5 years, I have had a different supervisor for every year I’ve been there. I want to say that Frankie Lopez is by far the best supervisor I’ve worked under. I recently had the chance to work with her in the classroom and met Teacher Frankie. I respect her input and help. She pushes me to do better, she’s involved, kind, patient, and not afraid to give constructive criticism. I wanted to say I’m happy to work under her in the workplace."

The Murphy Farm Preschoolers discovered mud and water and it was pure magic! This type of learning is science, sensory play, creativity, and teamwork all rolled into one messy adventure! #SaginawISD #OurStory

The Early Head Start Home Visiting program offers weekly socializations. Today the theme was "Kid Cafe" and the parents and children made homemade chicken nuggets. Yum! 😋 #SaginawISD #OurStory

Stacy Darrow and Matt Lovely from Instructional Services had a room full of educators as they explored day three of Explicit Instruction. They explored vocabulary routines and had excellent conversations about utilizing a "No Hands Raised" procedure. #ExplicitInstruction #SaginawISD #OurStory

Last week, as part of Transitions Center’s volunteer projects, students assembled bathroom kits, take-home hygiene kits, and 150 toothbrushes with mini toothpastes for students to take home. 🪥✨

This effort was made possible through generous donations from our students, families, community members, and staff — and we are incredibly grateful for the continued support!

If you would like to contribute, donations can be dropped off at TC during school hours, or you can email ahawkins1@sisd.cc to arrange a pickup. 💙

Brucker Early Head Start students celebrated Black History Month through creativity and hands-on learning! 🎨✨

Their most recent art project highlighted Garrett Morgan (1877–1963), an African American inventor from Cleveland, who created the first three-position traffic signal in 1923. 🚦

His innovation and problem-solving continue to impact our lives every single day — and our students did an amazing job honoring his legacy through art!

Okayyy Transitions Center students… did anyone notice something a little different around school last week? 👀

That’s right! Staff participated in an underground Spirit Week, and we know some of you caught on!! From mismatched fits to comfy-cozy vibes, it was a fun week all around. We loved seeing who was paying attention! 😄
