ATTENDANCEDue to high call volume, and student/parent visits to the office during morning hours, we ask you to please leave messages on our Attendance Line. You can do this by dialing the Office at 406.281.6207. Choose option 1; Leave your name, and your child's name, grade, and the reason for their absence. If a child comes to school more than 90 minutes (9:40 AM) past the start time of 8:10 AM, they are absent for half of the day. If your child is absent more than 10 days without a call from the parent, or a note from the doctor, the child is considered unexcused/truant. We are required by law to report the absences to legal authorities. Please make sure you call us and let us know when your child is absent. This is being a Safe, Responsible, and Respectful parent. It is not necessary to call the school when you are late.

Each classroom teacher has a section on our school app called Seesaw. At the beginning of the year, your child's teacher gave you the QR code and instructions about loading the app on your phone. This is the very best way to communicate with your teacher, and this is how she/he prefers to communicate with you as a parent. Please upload the app today, and get started with good communication between you and your child's teacher.
As a team we will encourage and nurture all students to ensure All students grow emotionally, behaviorally, socially, and academically, in preparation of becoming productive citizens and lifelong learners.
In light of the swift pace the Omicron variant is moving in our community, causing a rapid increase of COVID cases impacting our schools, we will continue with our current masking requirements. It was with great anticipation that we were poised to welcome optional masking, but the trajectory of the current cases requires us to remain vigilant as we work through this wave.
