Eagle Express

Dear Families,

We are excited to welcome our families into the building for next week's Parent–Teacher Conferences. These are times we look forward to as an important opportunity to connect, celebrate your child’s growth, and work together to support their continued success. Our team values strong partnerships with our families and believe that collaboration makes a difference in each student’s experience. If you have not yet scheduled an appointment, please feel free to reach out to our office so we can find a time that works for you. We look forward to seeing your family.

As we continue supporting our learners, we also need your help in the mornings. We’ve noticed an increase in students being dropped off and left unattended before supervision begins. For safety, please remember that students should remain in their vehicles until an adult is present at the parking lot crosswalk, which begins at 7:25 a.m. Your cooperation helps us ensure a safe and positive start to each school day. Thank you for your continued partnership and support!

Make it a great weekend, Eagles!

Families are invited to sign up for a time for Winter Conferences on the evenings of February 23rd and 24th. These conferences are a valuable opportunity to connect, celebrate your child’s progress, and discuss goals for the remainder of the school year. Teachers have now sent out confirmation letters. If you have misplaced your confirmation or need to schedule a time, please contact our office so we can be of assistance. We look forward to partnering with you and seeing you this winter!

When voters approve a school bond, the district is allowed to borrow money for specific projects. The district sells bonds to investors and then pays that money back over time, with interest. This is similar to a home loan. These payments are made using property tax dollars over a set number of years. Just like a mortgage, the district can't borrow more than the amount approved by voters, and it must use the funds only for the approved projects.

For your particular tax impact, if the 2026 bond proposal was passed, please use the tax impact calculator at 2026 Bond Proposal Information | Saginaw Township Community Schools. For additional questions regarding property taxes in Saginaw Township, please contact the Saginaw Township Assessor's Office at 989-791-9810.

Unified Pledge week is returning to STCS during the week of February 23rd. Students are encourage to celebrate with a spirit week as we seek to include everyone to be a part of our school community.

Families will be invited to visit multiple stations involving dissection, coding, art, problem solving and more. Community partners will be available including the CAN Council. Arrowwood PTO will be providing pizza slices to families. We hope your family can join us for this night of science, technology, engineering, art, and math!

All meetings will happen at 5:30 PM in the Arrowwood Commons:

• March 9th
• April 13th
• May 11th
