Hello Falcon Families,

Starting in January, students will take the middle of the year iReady diagnostics. The iReady diagnostic is given three times a year to help determine what support students need in their education and prepare them for state testing. K-8 iReady results will be sent out with report cards at the end of the semester.

High school grades 9-11 will also take the iReady diagnostic. This is new this year, so please contact Mrs. Reneau if you have questions about high school results.

Also, be sure to look for the Schoolwide Compact Letter. It will be distributed with the report card and iReady results. This compact was created with the help of staff and parents and is a requirement for Schoolwide Title 1 funding. Once you receive the official letter, please sign and return it for our records. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Reneau, EK-8 Principal and Title 1 Coordinator for Twin Bridges District: rreneau@tbschools.org 406-684-5656

CELLULAR TELEPHONE AND ELECTRONIC SIGNALING DEVICES

Student possession and use of cellular phones and other electronic signaling devices (devices) on school grounds, at school-sponsored activities, and while under the supervision and control of a District employee is a privilege that is permitted only under the circumstances described herein. 

At no time may a student operate a device in a locker room, bathroom, or any location where operation of the device may violate the privacy rights of another person. A student may use a device on school grounds:

• before school begins and after school ends;

• for students in grades 7-12, during the lunch period; and

• in the classroom if the use is for educational purposes and is consented to by the teacher or an administrator.

A student may use a device at school-sponsored activities or while under the supervision of a District employee if consented to by the activity sponsor or supervising employee. The District is not responsible for lost, misplaced, stolen, or damaged devices.

Unauthorized use of such devices disrupts the instructional program and distracts from the learning environment.  Therefore, unauthorized use is grounds for confiscation of the device by school officials, including classroom teachers.  Confiscated devices will be returned to the parent or guardian.  Repeated unauthorized use of such devices will result in disciplinary action. (See District Policy 3630.)
