Today, Chester Miller participated in the 1:10 Walk Out to acknowledge this reality and stand together as a community committed to prevention and protection.
What matters most is that we—as adults, educators, and community leaders—continue to share a collective commitment to keeping our children safe. Together, we can raise awareness, support one another, and make a difference.
We’re excited to welcome all students and staff back to Saginaw Public Schools on Tuesday, April 7.
As we return, we’re looking forward to a strong finish to the school year, filled with learning, growth, and continued success across our district.
Thank you for your continued support of Saginaw Public Schools. We’re glad to have everyone back.
The last day of classes is Friday, March 27, and students will be on break from March 30 through April 6. School will resume on April 7.
After-school programs will pick back up after the break.
We hope everyone has a safe and relaxing Spring Break. Enjoy the time—we’ll see you soon.
