The children had the opportunity to pretend to drive a fire truck and see firefighters dressed in their gear. They even got to watch a firefighter slide down the fire pole!

For Olivia Hart, Career and Technical Education (CTE) has been about more than learning new skills. It’s been about discovering her future!
A graduate of Heritage High School and the Saginaw Career Complex’s Youth Development and Leadership Program, Olivia gained valuable hands-on experience working with children while exploring potential career paths.
Through her time at SCC, Olivia had the opportunity to work in elementary classrooms, learn about child development, and gain a better understanding of what it takes to work with young learners.
Her experience helped her discover a passion for working with children and gave her a clearer picture of what she wants to pursue in life.
Olivia’s story is just one example of how CTE helps students explore their interests, gain real-world experience, and prepare for their futures.

🔨 Building Skills, Giving Back!
Students in the Building Trades program at the Saginaw Career Complex recently put their skills to work for a great cause!
Through a partnership with Saginaw ISD, students had the opportunity to build picnic tables for Hartley Nature Center, gaining valuable hands-on experience while creating something that will benefit our community for years to come.

🎃🎨 Little Hands, Big Creativity!
Our preschoolers are getting into the fall spirit, one colorful pumpkin at a time! 🍂
Ms. Kaylee and Ms. Megan’s students had a blast decorating pumpkins during small group time, turning ordinary pumpkins into colorful masterpieces!
But the fun didn’t stop at painting! Activities like these encourage creativity, strengthen fine motor skills, and give our youngest learners opportunities to express themselves while having fun alongside their classmates. From bright colors to big smiles, these little artists made some pumpkin magic! 🧡✨

Missing just two days of school each month can mean approximately 20 missed school days over the course of a school year.
That’s valuable time spent learning new skills, strengthening friendships, and participating in meaningful classroom experiences.
We understand that illnesses and unexpected circumstances happen. But whenever possible, establishing consistent attendance habits can make a lasting difference.
Every day is another opportunity to learn, grow, and belong.
Strive for Fewer Than 5!

Showing up today can help shape a student’s tomorrow!
Research continues to highlight the connection between consistent school attendance and academic achievement. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to stay on track academically and graduate from high school.
Every lesson learned, every connection made, and every milestone reached contributes to a student’s educational journey.
Let’s work together to help students build a strong foundation for success!
Strive for Fewer Than 5!

Mr. Rose’s and Mrs. Neumann’s post-secondary students from Millet Learning Center enjoyed a wonderful fall outing to Johnson’s Pumpkin Farm!
Students had a great time exploring the corn maze, enjoying delicious cider donuts, and sipping on fresh apple cider. 🍎 It was the perfect opportunity to get outdoors, soak in the beautiful fall atmosphere, and create lasting memories together!
Beyond the fall festivities, experiences like these provide valuable opportunities for our students to build independence, strengthen social skills, and engage in meaningful experiences within their community.

While local school districts are responsible for overseeing their individual schools, Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) work alongside them to provide specialized programs, resources, and services that support students, educators, and families. Here in Saginaw County, Saginaw ISD works collaboratively with 12 local school districts to expand educational opportunities and provide services that might otherwise be difficult for individual districts to offer independently.
From special education and early childhood programs to career and technical education, professional development, transportation, and technology support, Saginaw ISD helps connect the pieces that support student success.
Different organizations. Shared goals. One community.
