Professional Learning is underway!!
While the students enjoyed a Friday off, the staff was hard at work! Elementary teachers dove more deeply into new math curriculum, Bridges. The Middle/High School staff completed their Multi-Tiered Systems of Support work with guidance from the Saginaw ISD, and then did some data investigation on student success. The support staff and a few of our special education teachers renewed their Crisis Prevention Intervention training, also with support from the Saginaw ISD. Focused and individualized learning is important for everyone at MCS!

Our staff has been hard at work taking our learning to the next level! Here is a look at what our team spent time focusing on:
Student Safety First: Our staff completed SEC Training to stay fully compliant with Michigan Department of Education (MDE) and Michigan State Police safety requirements. This includes updated language and brand-new safety operation plans tailored for each of our buildings.
Leadership & Growth: Our building leaders participated in a powerful session on Visible Learning by John Hattie, provided by Saginaw ISD. This directly supports our major PD focus for the year: Collective Efficacy—the belief that we can all make a difference, and that impact is multiplied when we work together!

A Familiar Face in Our Hallways!
One of the best parts of summer is seeing familiar faces return to our school! This summer, we're excited to have a former elementary student working in our childcare program.
It's always a special full-circle moment to watch students who once filled these hallways come back to help care for and encourage the next generation. We love seeing our school community continue to grow through the connections that begin right here.
Thank you for spending your summer with us and making a difference in the lives of our youngest learners.
Once a student, always part of our school family.
