🚓 The City of Port Huron has donated a retired police cruiser to St. Clair TEC's new Law & Public Safety Program. The cruiser will give students authentic, hands-on training experiences. The vehicle was delivered last week by Port Huron Police Chief Brian Kerrigan and Assistant Chief Jeremy Young to the program's location at Woodrow Wilson Elementary, where the program is housed. This collaboration with the Port Huron Police Department, Port Huron City Manager James Freed, and Port Huron Schools is helping to prepare students for in-demand careers in public safety. Thank you to all of our community partners for supporting the next generation of first responders. #CTE #CareerandTechnicalEducation #PublicSafety

Last week, more than 170 paraprofessionals from across St. Clair County joined us at RESA for a full day of professional learning designed just for them. Sessions covered everything parapros need to know, from data collection and communication strategies to addressing difficult behaviors, supporting students with ASD, legal considerations, Medicaid billing, and classroom duties. Our own RESA staff led the way, sharing their knowledge and practical tools to support parapros in their essential roles. Thank you to all who participated! #WeAreSCCRESA

📚 On August 22, Early Childhood Services staff celebrated the opening of the Great Start Collaborative's newest Talking is Teaching Literacy Spaces in the Early Childhood Court waiting room. The inviting and colorful space is designed to spark parent-child interaction and turn wait time into meaningful teachable moments. The project was made possible through the partnership of the Great Start Collaborative, St. Clair County RESA, Juvenile Referee Samantha Lord, and the St. Clair County Early Childhood Court, with funding provided by a grant from MiLEAP. Our youngest friends wasted no time breaking in the new space, and we think they approve! #EarlyChildhoodLiteracy #EarlyChildhood #WeAreSCCRESA

Sharing again as we head into a new school year: 🌟📚The first day of school is almost here, and we know that first-day photos are a cherished tradition. Before you hit "post," take a moment to review these tips from the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office:
• Avoid sharing personal information: Be mindful of details like your child's full name, school, and grade.
• Turn off location services: Ensure your phone's location services are turned off when taking and posting photos.
• Check backgrounds: Make sure there's no visible address, school logo, or identifying information in the background.
