Attention incoming 7th-12th grade students and parents!! Now that our MAP/EOC testing is over, it's time to focus on scheduling for summer school and next year! Next week, we will have two Scheduling Nights on Tuesday, May 6 and Wednesday, May 7. Join us either night at any time between 4:00-6:00pm to review your student's academic plan, pick out classes for next year and sign up for summer school. More details to come early next week. We look forward to seeing you as we plan for next year!

School Information: All faculty, staff, and students went to the FEMA building prior to the storm. We are all safe! The power did switch to the generator causing the lights to go off for just a moment. The internet was down, and I could only send out one Facebook message to you parents and guardians. The teachers and students did an amazing job! The school has full power. We are back inside the school and scheduled to eat lunch shortly. I was told that much of the power is off in Billings. If you wish to pick up your children, please check them out as we do in the offices. I just wanted you to know we are good here. I hope you are all safe! If you have any questions, please call me. Thank you, Mrs. Brandt.

Message from Mrs. Brandt: While we do not have internet at this time to send out emergency notifications, we wanted to get information out to you. The Billings school children, faculty, staff, and administrators are all safe in the FEMA building. We have been here since the storm began and we will continue to monitor the weather before returning to classrooms.
