Dear Athletes & Parents of boys grades 4-8 interested in playing Junior High Basketball this year! We will be holding a preseason meeting on Sunday, Sept. 29th @ 4:00 PM in the cafeteria to determine how many players we have for the upcoming season for Boys’ Junior High Basketball.

Dear Willow Creek School Parents! Willow Creek School is pleased to announce that through the Montana Cares Act, and the Montana Small School Alliance we now have a partner for on-line counseling called E-Therapy. If you believe your student could benefit from having outside counseling through the on-line services of E-Therapy please stop in the office and pick up the forms for referral. Students can also refer themselves if they would like to receive on-line therapy. Parent consent must be signed for any student being referred regardless of who is making the referral. Please check out the site below to look at all the services that have been offered over the years. https://www.electronic-therapy.com/ If have questions, please contact the school! (406) 285-6991

Dear Parents and Guardians, We would like to inform you about the upcoming annual hearing screenings, which will be conducted by qualified Speech-Language Pathologists from the Gallatin Madison Special Education Cooperative. These screenings will take place at your school on 10/02/24. It is important to note that this screening is offered for all students in kindergarten, 1st grade, 9th grade, as well as those who are new to the school district. If you would like to opt your child out of this screening, please contact the school office. Our initiative is aligned with the Office of Public Instruction Hearing Conservation Program (HCP), which aims to ensure early detection of educationally significant hearing loss through a comprehensive process. This involves initial hearing screenings, on-site audiology procedures, and in-depth hearing evaluations whenever necessary. For students who may not pass the initial screening or were absent on the designated date, follow-up screenings will be arranged at a later time. We are fortunate to have Shey Mayland, the Region IV Audiologist of HCP, overseeing this program. In the event that further evaluation is deemed necessary, Shey Mayland may reach out to you for a potential medical referral or a complimentary hearing evaluation at the Audiology Suite located at 21000 Frontage Rd., Belgrade. She can be reached at 406.388.6508 ext 5. If you do not receive communication from either the speech-language pathologist or the audiologist, you can rest assured that your child has successfully passed the hearing screening. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to ensure the well-being of your child's auditory health. Best regards, Alyssa Mount, M.S. CCC-SLP Speech-Language Pathologist amount@galmadspecialedcoop.org Hearing Screening Date: 10/02/24

Morning Bus Schedule (Monday – Friday) Morning Bus Schedule (Monday – Friday) Willow Creek students - will be picked up starting at 6:45 a.m. All pick up times will be approximately 10 minutes earlier this year, due to adjustment to our route to avoid students crossing roadways.

Breakfast starts @ 7:45 a.m. 7th - 12th grade students can go ahead of younger students in line for breakfast only. This ensures there is plenty of time for student to eat and be in class before the tardy bell rings. The Pre-K - 6th grade students, if eating breakfast, will not be counted tardy until 8:15 a.m. This will make sure they have a chance to eat and finish their breakfast in a timely manner.
