school

Is our education system failing our society when it comes to finances?

Thanks to a grant from the Gianforte Family Foundation, the Montana Association for the Blind is going to expand even further into the high tech arena.

Reusable water bottles are a must-have for every student heading back to school this fall. Staying hydrated throughout the day is so important for your brain and body! In this list I've included some stainless steel and some reusable plastic bottles that all have tons of really high ratings on Amazon. Enjoy!

Great news for kids who go to the Elder Grove schools in Billings- face masks are no longer required. East Helena made the same move for their kids.

The mask restrictions at MSU-Billings and other campuses in the Montana University System are coming off.

The requirements for becoming a sub have been relaxed and non-certified applicants can earn $125 per day. High school diploma and clean background are necessary.

I've been researching some back-up plans in case we decide to not participate in the schools online learning and here are a few options (and costs) that I found.

RiverStone Health offers no-cost school immunizations every year. However, due to a backlog of COVID-19 case investigations, staff that normally would be handling school shots have been temporarily reassigned to help with COVID-19. The Immunization Clinic will resume Monday 7/27.

I had seen some info on Facebook from some parents that the kid brought it to school to basically threaten a kid who has bullying him and was possibly going to 'slam him down' after school. I CANNOT CONFIRM that that is the actual situation but I did read that (confirmed news story below)...

I completely understand taking a threat like this 100% seriously. Especially after yesterdays school shooting in Spokane, Washington that left 1 student dead and 3 more injured. I have yet to understand what is going in with today's youth...
