October Scouts Weekly 🍂

Dear Students and Families,

November’s School Board meeting is Monday, November 9th at 6:00 PM in the high school community room. We encourage the public to stay informed with the work of the school district. Check the school website for upcoming meeting dates.

The end of the first quarter is Friday, October 23rd! We have Parent/Teacher conference night scheduled for the evenings of October 28th and 29th from 3:30 to 6:30. Students in grades PK-7 will have specific schedules for your conferences. 8th through 12th students don’t have specific time slots scheduled, but their teachers will be available each evening to meet with parents. We encourage parents to stop in to meet with teachers. Our goal is to have 100% of our parents come in for conferences.

Onward and Upward!

Nick Gallagher
Superintendent/HS Principal

Scout Students and Families,

Red Ribbon Week

Next week we will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week with our students. This is a great opportunity to remind our students about making healthy choices, taking care of themselves, and making decisions that help them be successful at school and in life.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held October 28 and 29. All students in grades PK-7 should have received notice of the time of your scheduled conference. If you wish to make any changes or set a meeting with one of our teachers, please stop by or send a quick email. We look forward to visiting with families, talking about student progress, celebrating successes, and working together to support our students.

Halloween Reminders

As Halloween approaches, we want everyone to have fun while keeping our school environment safe. Please remember that weapons of any kind are not allowed as part of Halloween costumes. This includes realistic-looking toy weapons as well as costume props that could be mistaken for a real weapon.

Thank you to our students, staff, and families for helping make next week a great one. We have a lot happening, and we appreciate everyone's continued support of Bridger Public Schools.

Go Scouts!
Zach Bymaster
PK–8 Principal

Hello Scouts!

📢Bridger Families! Here's a note from the office:

Dear Parents and Guardians,

If your student is going to be absent, please call the office directly to let us know. This is very important, especially when teachers are out sick and can't always pass along a text message from parents to the office.

Your call helps us keep accurate records and ensures every student is accounted for. Thank you for working with us to keep communication strong.

📍Office Phone:

Elementary: 662-3588

High School: 662-3533

Please don't ever hesitate to reach out to the HS office or the Elementary office if there's anything we can help with-we're always here to support you however we can.

Warmly,

Nicole Gallagher

Elementary School Secretary

Diane George

High School Secretary
