Powell County High School

Today's Softball game has been canceled!

We have been having an issue with our email servers over the last few days where emails sent to our school emails or from our school emails are sometimes getting bounced back. Our techs are working on it and we hope to have it resolved soon! If you have been trying to reach a school employee, please call the office at 406-846-2757

Both the Track Meet and Softball Games today have been canceled due to weather.

Today's home Softball game has been cancelled. The game will be re-scheduled for a future (hopefully more pleasant) day!

Hello juniors and parents! Thursday all juniors will be taking the ACT. Your student received a booklet with some things they needed to do ahead of time as well as rules for the testing session. Here are some general rules so everyone is prepared: 1. Bring your Chromebook fully charged with you on Thursday. Please also bring your charger in case you need it. 2. We will be testing on the 2nd floor and no cellphones, smart watches, or other electronic devices (except for Chromebooks) will be allowed on the 2nd floor. Your child is encouraged to leave all of those devices locked in his or her car or at home. 3. We will provide snacks, juice, and water. Students are welcome to bring other food and water, but it must remain in the hallway and not in the testing room. 4. I will release all juniors after our testing is complete for the day (around 1pm). If you do not want your junior released, please let me know by the end of the day on Wednesday (April 12). 5. Only certain calculators are allowed for the math portion of the test. Please refer to the booklet your child was given and ensure that their calculator fits. We will not allow calculators into the room that are not approved. 6. All students must be here and in their seats by 8:15 7. The front door will be locked and we will not allow outside visitors into the building. If you need something, please call the office 856-2757 If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Crofutt!

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!
