Good Morning Parents & Students- On Tuesday, February 21 we will be administering the Youth Risk Behavior Survey to our student body during 1st period. This is a survey that we administer yearly and has been done for many years. There is not a permission slip for this form, but there is an opt out form if you choose not to have your child take this survey. A copy of that form and a fact sheet about the survey can be found on our website under forms. We will also have paper copies in the office. If you have any questions, please let me know!

Tonight's Girls Basketball game against Arlee is a District Play-in Game, so activity tickets will not work tonight. Prices for tonight's game are $4/students and $6/adults. Come out and support our Lady Wardens!!

AP Humanities students, the deadline for AP test payments is soon. Please make sure you bring a check for $97 per test to the high school office before February 24, 2023. If you are taking both Humanities tests, that total is $194. CollegeBoard does offer some financial aid, which you can find on their website.

Parents: our busses have hit the road so barring any worse driving conditions, we will expect our teams to be in the their afternoon classes. I anticipate they will need to run home to change and shower, and then come back to school as soon as that has been done.

I want to thank Mr. Schalk, our bus drivers, and our coaches for making the call to have our teams stay in Missoula last night! It was exactly the right thing to do. If your child is with the team in Missoula, you don't need to call them in absent this morning as we have that list and will get it entered into Campus. We will play it by ear today as far as those students attending classes. Thank you!

The Wrestling meet in Mission is CANCELED for tomorrow (1/28)
