***If the student has a class without a final, such as being a teacher's aid, they may be called out by the parent/guardian and leave school. The parent/guardian must call prior to the student leaving. If you have any further questions, please contact me on my cell: (406)210-3693.

We will be having our second Golden Opportunity Day (GO Day) on Thursday, January 20th. We will be piloting this for the Junior High as well. If a student has a D or F (less than 70%) in any class, for either the Quarter or Semester grade, that student will receive a GO Day Report Card and WILL be required to attend school on GO Day.  If a student does not have any D’s or F’s, (All grades C or higher) then that student WILL NOT be required to attend school on GO Day, but is welcome to do so if they choose. Reports will be emailed to students and parents two days before the GO Day.  The GO day will not hurt any students' perfect attendance. 

Do you have the Parent Portal app to check your students' grades quickly and easily? The app is simple to use and can even notify you when your child’s grades drop below what you deem acceptable. It will also let you know when your child is tardy or skipping class. For further assistance see our website or contact the tech department. (www.arleeschools.org) You can also call them at 726-3216, ext. 2411 or 2400.  

Winter is here! Please make sure your kiddo is dressed appropriately for the weather. Sometimes they forget to check to see what the day will look like. If you are having trouble getting appropriate winter clothing for them, please reach out to us so that we can help. We are all in this together.
