Subject: Introducing the Montana CARES App – Your 24/7 Support System
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We are excited to introduce the Montana CARES app – a 24/7 support system for students, families, and school employees.
The Montana CARES app empowers every member of our school community to seek assistance whenever they need it. For example:
· Students struggling interpersonally or with schoolwork.
· Families require essentials like food or housing.
· School Employees navigating stressful times.
· Anyone grappling with personal challenges.
What makes the Montana CARES app unique is that it’s completely anonymous. It allows users to ask for help, while protecting their privacy and dignity.
With the Montana CARES app, you can ask for and receive help in three ways:
· Privately connect with local resources
· Anonymously Text with trained counselors
· Request Help directly from your school
We kindly urge parents and guardians to download the Montana CARES app, not only to guide your children in how to use the app effectively, but also to use the app whenever YOU need support.
Getting Started with Montana CARES:
1. Download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
2. Select your school from the dropdown menu or enter the code provided by the school.
3. Accept the Terms & Conditions.
5th Grade Ski Trips
We are very excited to take our 5th graders on a ski field trip to Great Divide on Friday, February 16th. Please make sure your kids are appropriately dressed for a fun day in the snow. Students are expected to ride on the bus to and from the ski hill. Parents will need to meet us back at the school to pick up their child. Can’t wait for a fun day on the slopes. Reach out if you have further questions.

Student Cell Phones
We've seen an increase use for student cell phone use during the school day. Please remind your child not to use their cell phones during the school hours.
To help teach students how to use their cell appropriately, students are welcome to check their cell phones with their classroom teachers. Phone will be stored in a clear hanging file system securely in the classroom to keep them safe during the school hours. Watches for updates on prizes for students checking in their phones.
Thanks for instilling responsibility with your student.
