Burnt River School District - We are committed to the success of ALL our students.

Thank you to our staff, community, students, Abigail and Morgan from Missoula Children's Theater for an awesome week. Our students stepped outside their comfort zones and did an amazing job learning the musical in FOUR days! It is amazing what our kids can do! It was so fun to see them gain confidence over the week.

Here is a peek at this week. We have a great, fun week of basketball, learning and team building planned. Be on the look out for a field trip permission slip for Thursday. We have a little surprise for the community up our sleeve. Have a great week and enjoy your Christmas and New Year. Our winter break runs from December 22 - January 1. We will resume school on Monday, January 5, 2026.

We have a fun week ahead with Missoula Children's Theater visiting. We will have our performance Thursday at 5:00. Buses will not run Thursday as we will have dress rehearsal before the performance. Let's make it a great week.

This month we’re shining a light on kindness and caring, celebrating student learning, and thanking our community for an incredibly supportive November. Inside, you’ll also find weather plan reminders, attendance information, and upcoming details for December.

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Attached is this week’s newsletter. As we enter the month of December, I’m asking for your partnership in reaching our goal of 90% of students attending 90% of the time—which means each student can miss no more than one school day this month. We have important (and fun!) learning opportunities planned, and we want every student here to experience them. Thank you for helping us finish the year strong.

Congratulations to November's student of the month.

Thank you so much for making attendance a priority! Our attendance was much, much better last week. Ninety two percent of our students were here 100% of the time. We did have quite a few tardies, but all in all, our attendance numbers were much better. This week, we'll have school Monday, Tuesday and part of Wednesday (dismissed at 12:30). (Take a peek at the schedule for more details.)

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for all of our students, staff and community. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

Next week at Burnt River School will be a normal week, with a continued focus on strong attendance and showing up ready to learn. We’re especially excited for Thursday, when our students will travel to Prairie City for our first youth basketball game of the season. Please look at the attached newsletter for more information.

We have a fun and interesting week ahead of us. Please plan on joining us Monday at 2:30 for a Veterans Day Celebration. We will not have school on Tuesday in honor of our Veterans. We will then have school on Wednesday and Thursday. Make it a great week!

We enjoyed another wonderful week filled with learning and community! Thank you to everyone who supports our students . Your involvement makes such a difference.

Next week looks to be a fairly “normal” one. Our next community event will be our Veterans Day Celebration on Monday, November 10, at 2:30 p.m. Our staff and students are planning something special, and we hope you’ll join us for this meaningful occasion.

If you know a Veteran, please share their contact information with us so we can send them a personal invitation.

Wishing you a great week ahead!
