Helena Flats Families, our school phones are still down since we do not have power. If you have an Elementary student please contact your child’s teacher by dojo or another method if possible if we need to keep the student at school for pick up. We want to ensure an adult is present to get students from the bus. Thank You for your assistance.

Helena Flats Families, our school has been out of power, internet and phones for approximately 2 hours. All students are safe and we are providing lunch to all students. In communication with Flathead Electric they can’t give us a timeline for power restoration. Out of an abundance for student safety and caution all students will be dismissed at 1:15pm with buses provided. Please ensure someone is available to meet your child from the bus or pick up at school. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Helena Flats Families, please assist us in maintaining our educational environment by placing any smartwatches students bring to school into "school mode." Smartwatches fall under the same criteria as cell phone use at school. Students should not use them for messaging while at school. Please advise your children if they need to contact home to do so in the main office. Thank You for your support :-)

Helena Flats Families, given that students are in close contact while in schools we have noticed an upward trend in cold weather sickness and instances of lice all over Flathead County. Please be diligent with cleaning your child's items to help prevent any cross contamination while at school. Also please try to prevent the sharing of clothing. Your help in this is greatly appreciated. Thank You and Have a great day :-)
