CHS Athletic Reminder- Legacy Scholastic Imaging will be taking fall high school sports photos TOMORROW 9/18 at 4:00 PM in the Colstrip High School Auditorium. Your student can get an order form from the office or you can preorder online at https://legacyscholasticimaging.com/
Beginning on 9/18, Colstrip Public Schools will offer an Activity Bus service on a test basis Monday-Thursday. The bus will be for students participating in sanctioned after school practices or TAZ who receive a pass from their coach, sponsor, or TAZ teacher.
Students in TAZ must remain in the study hall under teacher supervision until 6:00PM in order to receive a pass. Students will not be permitted to get on the Activity Bus without a pass from their coach, sponsor, or the study hall teacher.
The bus will depart Colstrip High School at 6:10 and stop at Frank Brattin Middle School to pick up students for BIA and drop off any in-town students at 6:20. The bus will then proceed non-stop to BIA in Lame Deer and back to the bus barn.
This service is being provided on a test basis, low numbers or abuse of the complimentary service will result in this non-mandatory service being terminated. Additionally, should there be a shortage of either drivers or vehicles, the service may be cancelled on any given day.
We will be celebrating the opening of Native American Week and Homecoming on Monday, Sept. 25th. The Colstrip Public Schools mini Powwow will be held on Monday, September 25th at 9:00 a.m. on the soccer fields behind Pine Butte. If you have a child who is planning to dance, please email, dojo or otherwise contact Nikki BarrettMelin at PBES so we can get a head count and know who will be dressing right away that morning. Dancers need to be dressed and ready at 8:45. Please help us with this undertaking as we want it to be awesome!

Parents,
We had a phenomenal speaker for teacher PIR day before school started and she shared how to use techniques that will help students regulate behaviors and emotions from trauma. She shared a parent link with me and I am sharing it with you as many parents have requested something that could be used at home as well as they have heard wonderful things about the training...this is the link...
