🍎 Happy National Teacher Day
Today is about recognizing the work that often goes unseen.
The early mornings, the extra time after school, the constant adjustments to meet students where they are—our teachers show up for it all. You guide, support, challenge, and care in ways that shape who our students become.
Saginaw Public Schools is stronger because of you.
Thank you for everything you bring to your classrooms and to our community.

🐾 Tiger Families — Every Day Counts!
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we want to remind our Tiger community how important attendance is. Each day in the classroom is an opportunity your student can't get back. Consistent attendance helps our Tigers stay on track academically and connected to their school community.
This week, the whole school will be NWEA testing, so every student needs to be here and on time!
Thank you for partnering with us because together, we keep our Tigers roaring! 🐯🧡

Tigers, every day is a great day to be at school! 🐯
Attendance matters every single day, and showing up consistently is one of the most important things your student can do for their success.
A special shoutout to our 6th graders who kicked off MSTEP today with great energy and great attendance! Keep it going, we need everyone in their seats for the rest of the week.
See you tomorrow, Thompson Tigers! Every day counts. 📚
🐯 Reminder, Thompson Tigers that every day counts!
This week our 6th graders are taking their M-STEP, so we need every student here and ready to go.
Make sure your Tiger gets a good night’s sleep, arrives when doors open at 7:00 AM for a filling breakfast, and is ready for classes at 7:36 AM.
Research shows that regular attendance in middle school builds the positive habits students need for high school and beyond!
Let’s show up strong this week! 🐾
Big shoutout to our 7th graders who have been working hard and showing up on the M-STEP. We are beyond proud of the effort and focus we’ve seen!
Testing continues Thursday and Friday, and being present makes ALL the difference.
We need ALL of our students here because every day you're here matters. Not just for testing but for YOU! So let's get a good night’s sleep, a solid breakfast, and walk through those doors ready to go!
