Over the next few newsletters, we'll be spotlighting some of our support staff that you may not see on a regular basis to help inform everyone about the many people we have supporting GHS students. Below is our first edition.

I grew up here in Bozeman and am a Bozeman High School alum. I have my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Montana State University and M.A. in Intercultural Youth and Family Development from the University of Montana. I have worked with youth in Montana, California and New Mexico. Prior to working for the Bozeman School District, I was the Client Advocate for HAVEN, Gallatin County’s domestic violence shelter. As the Family-School Services Coordinator for the previous 12 years, I currently coordinate the American Indian Education program, McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Program, and the Foster Youth Program working with students and their families in all K-12 Bozeman schools. I am at GHS most Tuesdays but feel free to contact me anytime about these programs. In my down time I love spending time with my Springer Spaniel Finn, enjoying the outdoors or at home in Manhattan, as well as traveling.

Throughout the month of December your GHS student(s) will be learning about their course options for next school year in their counseling seminars. This is an important first step in the registration process. During their seminar presentation, students will learn about required courses for the next school year as well as elective offerings. Please click this link to view more information about the registration process and access other resources.

As reminder, next school year we will be transitioning to the block schedule. You can view next year's bell schedule at this link. You read more about the block schedule at this link. Please contact Erica Schnee at erica.schnee@bsd7.org if you have any additional questions.
