Hi, Falcons!

Each month, I send you and your parents/guardians a High School newsletter via Infinite Campus Messenger with lots of information and dates for the upcoming months.

FAFSA Update!
The Department of Education has opened the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for students and families starting now, ahead of its official launch on Dec. 1.

If you are an independent student because you are experiencing homelessness on your own,  you will need a determination to apply for financial aid without your parent’s information. Please see me as I can provide you with a determination for your FAFSA.

Students- We share many opportunities, programs, and information in high school through monthly newsletters, emails, and announcements. Please remember to check your emails as you would text messaging. Some of these opportunities have hard deadlines, which can be disappointing if you miss out on them.

Winter Guidance

Covering: Credit checks, designate diplomas, provide second-semester information on credit recovery (if needed), course planning, and upcoming opportunities from outside programs, dual enrollments, and pathways. I am sharing these class PDFs with you as parents so you can see your students' planning and all the opportunities shared to help them participate in their planning with me.

Seniors and Senior Parents/ Guardians, here is a PDF from our November Planning & Guidance on 11/21/24 in case your student is absent or you want to follow along.

In December, Juniors-Freshman in English Classes will have information here next month.

Health Plans and Student Section 504 plans

If you have a health or 504 plan as a continuing student, your accommodation plan will be shared with the High School teachers by the first day of school. If you have any emergent health concerns, don't hesitate to contact our school nurse, Julie Shepp, at sheppj@florence.k12.mt.us or 406-273-6741.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with me with any questions about the Section 504 evaluation process.
