Big Sky Students & Families-

What a great first week of school! I’m so appreciative of everyone reaching out and asking questions to make sure your child has a positive experience at Big Sky.  Students-you have shown such great growth over the summer and I know it’s going to be a good year! Shout out to our Link Crew members for helping our 9th graders on their first day of school-true school leaders!  Here are reminders and updates for this week:

• AUP forms (Acceptable Use Forms)-all students will have access to their Google account for a couple of weeks until the District shuts it off if you haven’t turned the forms in or followed the directions in Infinite Campus.  If you need any help please email dturner@mcpsmt.org. 
• Open House-Monday September 23rd from 6-7pm.  I will also be hosting a Q&A from 5-6pm (light refreshments provided) to discuss cell phones and what parents are seeing at home and how to partner together. 
• Don’t forget no school on Monday, we will start with our regular bell schedule-Bell Schedule, I know the times are a little odd, but it’s important you pay close attention to the times (especially for when lunch is over). Auto & AG will be going to those buildings starting this week, so be sure to check the whiteboard in the entrance for your bus number. 
• Just a reminder to use the large dumpsters in the student lot, if you see a garbage can is full, don’t try and stuff your garbage in there, we have 2 large rolling dumpsters in the parking lot! 

Parents, guardians and family members-we want you to join Booster Club!! Booster supports all aspects of Big Sky including: athletics, activities, theater, arts, Link Crew, Student Government and International Club to name a few (for our 9th grade parents, think PTO)-if you are interested in joining please use this link-Big Sky Booster Sign Up

Don’t forget to get your Activity Card from Becca in the Activities office! If you haven’t had your picture taken, make sure you get a receipt so you have that to verify you have your activity card to get into games.

Have a great week Big Sky, please reach out if you have any questions!
