October is National Principals Month! 🎉

Today, we’re kicking off a month-long celebration of the leaders who help make our schools special.

Our principals lead with purpose, support their staff, advocate for their scholars and help create school communities where everyone can grow and achieve.

Help us celebrate our amazing principals all month long! ❤️👏🏽 Join us in showing them some love and appreciation for the difference they make in the lives of our scholars, staff and families every day!

We’re just one week away from October 7! Every scholar counts, and being at school on Count Day matters.

Count Day is an important day for Michigan schools. When your scholar is at school and ready to learn, they are counted as part of our school community. Attendance on Count Day helps support the funding, programs, services and resources available to our scholars throughout the school year.

Let’s make sure every scholar is there, every scholar counts, and every day matters!

Why does count day matter? What is count day? Count day is an important day when Michigan schools report the number of scholars enrolled and attending school. Why does it matter? The information collected on Count Day helps determine state funding for public schools. That funding supports the programs, services, staff and resources available to scholars. What can families do? Make sure your scholar is at school and ready to learn on Count Day! Count Day: October 7 Attend School Be Counted Every scholar matters. Every day matters. Flint Community Schools Expect More. Achieve More.

This morning, Superintendent Jones spent time with the Student Council at Southwestern Classical Academy for a meaningful conversation about supporting our Flint Community Schools families throughout the Thanksgiving holiday season.
The conversation also gave scholars an opportunity to share their questions, ideas and concerns as we reach the one-month mark of the new school year. Creating space for scholar voices and hearing directly from our young people is an important part of strengthening our school community.
Thank you to the SWCA Student Council for sharing your voices, ideas and perspectives! We appreciate your leadership and commitment to making a difference in your building and community.
