Big Sky Students & Families-

A huge shout out to our Tennis, Track and Softball team, you showed grit despite crazy weather conditions, traveling to multiple locations, staying up until 3:15am to get matches in, battling the cold among many other things, no matter what you showed everyone across the state how Big Sky holds their head high and the Eagle Spirit.  We are all so proud of you! 

It is hard to believe that this is the Class of 2024’s last week! That means it’s time for the Class of 2025 to step into their shoes. Remember that any “shenanigans” as I like to call them are only funny and cute until they cross a line, so please consider your choices and the impacts they can have on those around you, let’s finish the year safely and productively! 

Schedule for the week: 

Monday-No School

Tuesday-Periods 1-7

Wednesday-Periods 1-7 (no block day)

Thursday-Periods 2, ADV, 4, 6

Friday-Periods 1,3,5,7 (block day)

****If you are in auto, you will need to stay at Big Sky Wednesday & Friday (no class those days)

• Friday May 31 is the last day to register for the trip to Spain with Mrs. Keffeler next spring break! There are FIVE spots left, and we have been given one last voucher for $100 off of the trip if you register by May 30 and use the code “Travel4V”. The only requirement is to be a sophomore or higher next year, and have taken at least one year of Spanish, even if it’s next year! This is a great opportunity! If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Keffeler at elkeffeler@mcpsmt.org.
• We’ve already had a number of families register for our Summer 2025 Italy, France, and Spain trip informational meeting. I'm thrilled with how much interest our community has shown in this life-changing experience. When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and I would love to have your student join me on this adventure. I’ve already received quite a few questions about this opportunity. All questions will be answered at the meeting on May 28 at 6:00 PM in Room 5. Registration is mandatory for the meeting, so please register if you have not already: https://rsvp.eftours.com/rrsmpwt, Looking forward to seeing you all there! Mrs. Keffeler + Mrs. Cook

Seniors:

Graduation Practice-Seniors are required to attend a mandatory graduation practice at the Adams Center at The University of Montana on Friday, 5/31 at 9am. Students should plan on a 90 minute commitment. Each year graduation is a special time for our families. We will stress appropriate dress and behavior to our students when we gather for rehearsal. 

At graduation, the diploma’s are not placed in the case, students will need to come back to Big Sky starting Monday 6/3 between 8-2pm to pick up.  Remember if you have any fines or you have not finished your classes you will not receive your diploma until those are satisfied. 

Class of 2025:

Ms. Dunfee is offering $50 senior photo session packages to 2025 graduates, and/or families who maybe can't afford the full outrageous price most photographers charge. All proceeds will go towards the yearbook account, which can help low the overall cost. You can check out her website at: https://monroelucillephotography.mypixieset.com/

Have a great week Big Sky, seniors if you or your families have any questions about graduation, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
