Following an individual testing positive for Covid -19, it has been determined by Carbon County Health Department that there has been "no school spread." This indicates that our protocols of distancing and masking have been effective. We will continue to be diligent in our efforts to protect students and staff. Thanks for your patience as we work toward doing our best to meet student and family needs while keeping everyone healthy and safe!
Good morning!
I hope this finds you and yours well.
I am writing to share a new video. It is the first of ten from a series entitled, Schools Cannot Do It Alone. I will send one a month throughout the year.
These videos are informative, entertaining, and inspiring. Each is designed to give you a better understanding of how our schools contribute to the health and well being of our entire community. I know you will enjoy them.
This first clip is fourteen minutes long. It provides a review of the challenges we face, old and new. There are no ads. No one is collecting data of any kind.
Every day, our staff and Board work hard to prepare the children of our community to thrive and prosper as adults. But as the title of the video series suggests, we cannot succeed without your understanding, trust, and support. And the truth is, we all have a vested interest in increasing student success whether or not we have children in school.
Please take time to view the video and share with your friends and family.
Here is the direct link: https://player.vimeo.com/video/445589485
Enjoy and have a great day.
MONTANA COMPREHENSIVE LITERACY STATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT GRANT RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED
Tuesday, June 16, 2020
Montana Comprehensive Literacy State Development Project Grant Recipients Announced
June 16, 2020
HELENA— The Office of Public Instruction (OPI) announced grant award recipients today under the Montana Comprehensive Literacy State Development Project (MCLSD). Last year, Montana received a 5-year, $50 million federal Striving Readers Comprehensive State Development Program grant from the U.S. Department of Education which funds MCLSD awards. The purpose is to advance literacy skills using evidence-based practices, strategies, and interventions for all children, preschool to grade 12, with an emphasis on disadvantaged children.
“The OPI is excited to support these community partnerships that will lead to greater literacy and digital literacy development in Montana students,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen said Tuesday. “As a fifth-grade teacher for 23 years, I know how critical it is for students to have literacy skills that support successful academic transitions into middle and high school.”
The OPI conducted 6 subgrant application workshops across the state during February (Kalispell, Missoula, Helena, Havre, Glendive, and Billings) for eligible districts. We had the participation of 53 districts in the workshops and 43 districts submitted applications.
Eligible district subgrants consisted of a gap analysis of student literacy data to identify where an increased focus in instruction is needed to meet the needs of identified disadvantaged student groups. Through this identification, districts proposed high-quality plans for improvement in teaching and learning that will be monitored through a Continuous Improvement Cycle.
The following districts are receiving MCLSD funding:
Name: Fromberg K-12 School
Year 1 Eligible for up to: $150,000
Years 2-5 Eligible for up to: $250,000
