Deer Lodge School District #1

We are again at an unhealthy level of AQI this morning. We will keep students indoors to the greatest degree possible and windows closed. Mr. Schalk and I will assess the AQI later in the day and make a determination on outdoor practices. -Mrs. Crofutt

Elks Annual Hoop Shoot! For more information please contact Dan Riddle 406-240-3054.

With a current AQI of around 200, PCHS will keep all students indoors today with the exception of moving from the main building to the VoAg building and the bare-necessity farm chores. We will watch the levels throughout the day and make a decision on afternoon outdoor practices and the JV football game. Our decision making index is: 0-120: No limitations 120-150: Limit of one hour on outdoor activities 151+: All outdoor activities postponed We use a PM 2.5 tracker that is located on the HS building and run through purpleair.com. Another source we look at is airnow.gov, however their closest tracker is in Butte and as you can see from the picture below, there is a wide range of readings in Butte. We do look at averages over a range of hours from both to help track patterns and make the best decision possible for the health of our children.

Football parents: It was just brought to my attention that it was announced that you could go down to Deer Lodge Family Dental and get free mouthguards. This is incorrect. Although they did graciously do this in the past, they don’t currently have any. Ace Hardware does have some for purchase though if you need one for your athlete. Sorry for the confusion!!

Grades K-8: Infinite Campus accounts for parents of new students will be set up next week. You will receive an email on the account you used when you registered your student. Parents of returning students may email Shelly Burton to get an account set up. burton.shelly@dljuniorhigh.org

Welcome Back, High School students! School starts Wednesday morning at 8:15 and all students will meet in the gym first thing in the morning!

Thank you all!!!

Attention 6-8th grade Parents!! Athletic forms can be found on our website under Athletics or come to back to school night and pick one up from Mrs. Anderson at the DuVall office.

Good morning! All high school schedule changes must be done by 3:15 today. I am in the office and you can stop in or email me. -Mrs. Crofutt
