District Social Media 

We celebrate the many great things happening on the district's social media - please like, follow and share!

Community Connection

Our district newspaper is sent to all Carrollton residences and to all School of Choice families.  Additionally, we send a substantial number to leaders in Saginaw County.  Over the years, we have received many favorable comments from our readers.  They love seeing their children in the paper and enjoy human interest stories.  The Connection is a perfect opportunity to communicate school information to the community.

We believe that all employees and students in the district are potential contributors to the Connection. Submission deadlines and guidelines can be found on the Community Connection homepage.

Anyone can submit a photo by using #ConnectingCarrollton when they post to Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.

Our District's Resources

Health Resource Advocate, Talia Dunn

Calling all Cavaliers! Carrollton needs your help in competing against other Saginaw County districts in the Step Up and BWell challenge. Our district is going head to head against our rivals once again but this time it won’t only be done on a court or field. We are being asked to log movement in minutes on the Step Up and BWell website. What is movement? You can log activities like: gym class, recess, walking, cheering, jogging, walking your dog, dancing, doing chores, playing sports etc. Any movement counts! In doing so, we will be competing for prizes and the recognition of being the healthiest district in Saginaw County. You and your parents will receive registration forms via email or register here:https://stepup.bwellsaginaw.org/register. Please make sure to get registered soon so we can show Saginaw County that the Carrollton Cavaliers know how to Step Up!  

  • Saginaw Youth BWell Mental Healthopedia designed for youth ages 12 years and older, the site allows you to put in your feelings and find suggestions of what might be causing the feelings. The site is not designed to replace professional mental health help, but can help youth begin to think about their feelings and what they might be able to do to address them.
