We are excited to announce the Frenchtown School District will be hosting the 2021 Veterans Day Event on Thursday, November 11th in the Middle School Gymnasium. Our Family Consumer Science students will host a Veterans Breakfast served with coffee, homemade pastries, and muffins from 8:30-9:00. At 9:00 the assembly will begin with an address by Frenchtown High School Student Body President Evan Ellington with music provided by our Chamber Choir, High School Band, and a group of 2nd-5th grade students. There will be a keynote speaker for the event that will be announced in the days ahead. Please come join us in honoring the brave men and women that have served both past and present within our community. Please help spread the word to our Veterans! Hope to see many of our Veterans on November 11, 2021.

Congratulations to Chloe Long and Garrett Schmill they have been selected as the November Elk Students of the Month! Students are selected based on academics, service, school involvement and leadership!

*** TRANSPORTATION ALERT *** Due to an accident on US 93, Bus 4 is delayed for student pick ups.

Hello all, we apologize for the short notice this morning regarding the school closure. We had a power outage yesterday, which triggered Paulson Electric, Missoula Electric Company, and the Frenchtown Fire Department to mobilize and ascend on the North Campus of the Frenchtown School District. The issue was resolved; however, a similar failure occurred this morning, which prompted the need to close school while trying to resolve the issue and explore deeper into the cause of the power failure. No fire department this morning; however. School will resume tomorrow as normal. While we still have work to do and an outage could occur again, MEC has a quick fix to power the school back up. The two companies of MEC and Paulson Electric are monitoring two different systems to collect data in order to help find a solution to the cause rather than treating the symptom. Thank you and we appreciate your understanding even though you were greatly inconvenienced this morning.

Middle School Basketball games today @ Hellgate have been canceled and will be rescheduled at a later date. Thank you.

Due to electrical problems on the North campus that we thought were fixed but they showed back up this morning, PK - 12 will be closed for the day, for both students and staff. The power will be out on the North campus until the problem is located and fixed.

MSBB at Hellgate Middle School for 8th grade basketball --- Monday, November 1 , 4:00 and 5:00 pm --- All spectators are required to wear a face mask at all times in Hellgate Middle School to attend the basketball games.

Here is the youtube link: https://youtu.be/Kw0LCDqKn2U On Wednesday we will have BUILDING CONNECTIONS DAY. What to Wear: Your Favorite Color. Students will be putting together class pictures that build something like a heart or a meaningful word. When we build a healthy support system that is an excellent protective factor. Students will be giving each other affirmations. A healthy peer group that supports one another is an excellent protective factor.
