Hello Stanford Families!
Mother Nature is putting on quite a show today and looks like she will take it up a notch overnight and tomorrow. We are going to be proactive vs. reactive. We will do school remotely tomorrow, Tuesday, February 21st. Teachers are making plans and will send some things home with the kids today.
I know it seems like we have had a lot of closure this year. We have. But I will always err toward caution when it comes to your kids' safety. Going remote will prevent us from having an additional makeup day later in the year.
I've been out on the roads today and the limited plowing has done its best to keep up with the snowfall, but it is a lot. Tomorrow has high winds and plummeting temperatures forecast. I would rather we all plan for remote today versus scramble for closure tomorrow.
The amazing staff here was up for the challenge and will do their best to make it an educationally productive day for the kids.
Thank you for all your support.
Ski Cards and forms are being sent home. Please return by next TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST. Any questions, please contact Mr. Tempel (K1-5), or Mr. Neumann (6-12). Our school ski days are Thursday March 9 and Thursday March 23.
No cheer tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 8th!
We will have little bearcat basketball this Friday at the Stanford Home game. K-2 grades will play during halftime of GV and grades 3-5 will play during halftime of BV, just like in Jan. Please meet in the elementary hallway 2 minutes before half time.
Community Announcement: The Judith Basin Food Pantry shelves are well stocked and we are ready to help. No paperwork, no questions, just good food. The pantry is open the third Tuesday of each month from 2 to 4. (Feb 21). We are located in the Manor (402 2nd Ave N.) If you have questions, please call 406-566-2613.
-Let the craziness begin! JHBB begins on Monday, both girls & boys. Please see original starting points and parent meetings to follow practices around 6 p.m. @ that practice site. If you are new to sports for this 2022-2023, a physical will be needed before you can practice. All other paperwork can be obtained and filled out at practice.
-Last regular season week for HSBB. Please be patient, as with the start of JHBB, many adaptations have to be used including late practices to accommodate BB coaches and gym space.
6th Grade Cookie Fundraiser continues again this Thursday, Feb. 2nd @ lunchtime. $3 a cookie will get you mouth watering delights. All proceeds raised will go towards upgrades on our school playground.
JHBB Starts: Monday, Feb 6th. All 5th-8th graders interested in playing need a physical on file with their school as well as the other co-op paperwork. Schedules will be out soon. Girls coaches are Powell Becker and Katie Heppner, Boys coaches are Beau Smith and Kade Woodhall. Contact your school's AD with any questions.
Any DGSG supporters wanting to add a Booster Page line for the District 8C Tourney, please email Vance Von Bergen your line, vvonbergen@stanford.k12.mt.us. Cost per line is $5. Thanks for supporting the Bearcats!
Please come visit us at our upcoming home basketball game on January 20th! Your school board members will be at the game to answer any questions you may have. Our school facilities haven’t had a significant upgrade in over 60 years. The high school wing is nearly 100 years old and is experiencing multiple failures of its infrastructure. A community and school exist hand in hand. It is not IF the school needs revitalization but WHEN, and that time has come. We hope to see you there!
