MARCH Huskie Howl
March 1, 2023
I am delighted to share some exciting news with you all! We have just received approval to launch a Math Club at our school, adding another enriching opportunity to our Wednesday After-School program. Our dedicated teaching teams have carefully selected students to participate in this fantastic opportunity, aimed at nurturing and enhancing mathematical skills and problem-solving abilities.
We understand the importance of providing diverse learning experiences for our students, and we wish we could extend this opportunity to every child. If your child has received a call or paper invite, we encourage you to respond promptly to secure their spot in the Math Club. The program is scheduled to run from March 25th to May 2nd, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM. Please note that parents/guardians are responsible for student transportation from the club.
During Math Club sessions, our dedicated staff will engage students in hands-on activities, provide small group instruction, and offer one-to-one support to foster a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Our ultimate goal is to cultivate critical thinking skills and instill a love for mathematics in each participant.
For more information about the Math Club, please contact Ms. Renfro at vrenfro@isd221.net. We look forward to launching this exciting mathematical journey with our students!

Music in our Schools Month
For nearly 40 years, March has been designated as Music In Our Schools Month® (MIOSM®). Music has a lasting positive impact in our lives. The positive impact on music in the lives of our students lasts a lifetime. Therefore, the education and cultivation of music in our youngest members of society, our students, is paramount.
Every day, in classrooms and rehearsal rooms across our school district, music educators dedicate themselves to reaching all students with life-changing musical experiences. Parents, administrators, and the wider community often only see the wonderful results of music performances; however, we miss the months of practice and rehearsals and more importantly the learning process that takes place to make it all happen.
I encourage members in our community to acknowledge and celebrate music education as an essential part of every student’s educational journey. Thank you to the Shadow Butte Community for being so supportive of Music Education at Shadow Butte Elementary.
Mr. Dominick J. Conte
We want your student at school! Attendance is so important to learning. A student who misses a single day loses 20% of the learning from that week.
Here are a few things to remember:
*Call the office or email sbeattendance@isd221.net to excuse your child if they are absent for any reason.
*If your child goes to the doctor, please ask for a note and submit it to the school. A doctor’s note will exempt an absence.
*We appreciate you calling the school and letting us know when your child is sick. While we mark the absence as excused, it is NOT exempt. These absences still count as absences. School attendance is vitally important to your child’s learning. We want your child to have all the tools needed to succeed.
- Please call in Transportation Changes to the office @ 208-365-0877 by 2:50 pm / Fridays 1:45 pm.
- If you need to check out your child during recess, we kindly request that you wait until the recess concludes or arrive before recess. This supports the safety of all students, as our duty staff can then focus on their designated supervision areas without any distractions. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
