Dear Ponderosa Families:

We want to hear about your experience with your student’s education. We invite you to participate in completing the School Climate Survey. This survey includes questions about your student’s learning, school safety, and interpersonal relationships, as well as your attitudes about the institutional environment and your personal involvement in school. Your responses will be very helpful in improving student relationships, learning conditions, and the overall school environment.

Beginning today, we invite all parents, guardians and caretakers to complete this survey for our school. The survey is completely anonymous and brief; it contains 21 questions and takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. You can take the survey online by using the following unique school link or QR Code: https://forms.gle/9uVAZZLw2KQ9ZYvP8

Please submit your responses by April 25, 2025. All your responses are completely anonymous. We have no way to connect you to your answers, and results will only be reported as group responses. There are no right or wrong answers. We just want to know about your personal experiences.

As you respond to each item, think about your own personal experiences as a parent, caregiver or guardian at your student’s school. Please answer all of the questions, or your answers won’t be recorded, but you can mark “I prefer not to answer” if you don’t want to answer a question about you.

We hope you will take the time to provide us with this valuable information. Feel free to call our office at 406-281-6516 if you have any questions. Each school’s total survey results will be used to inform and develop appropriate strategies, procedures, and/or programs to enhance our school climate.

Thank you for your time and participation!

Important Dismissal Information

Kindergarten - 3rd Grade Dismisses at 2:00pm

4th & 5th Grade 2:45pm

EVERY WEDNESDAY, we will dismiss one hour before the regular times above. This is professional time for ALL staff to collaborate and work together in order to improve instruction and focus on specific needs of our students. Dismissal on Wednesdays will be 1:00pm for grades K-3 and 1:45pm for grades 4-5.

** If you have last minute message on a change of plans for your child at the end of the day, please call AT LEAST 20 minutes before dismissal. If you call any later than that, we cannot guarantee that they will get the message before dismissal time. There are so many students and it's an incredibly busy time of day. Thank you for your cooperation!
