Snow is coming! Gallatin County CUSD 7 will be dismissing students today after we feed them lunch. Buses will leave the district around 12 p.m. The National Weather Service is expecting snowfall to begin around noon in our area and for us to receive up to two-three inches of accumulation and the temperature is expected to stay at 32 degrees. We now have e-learning (weather related days) and students will have their classwork downloaded on their Chromebooks to finish at home.
All sports practices are cancelled for today.
Have a blessed day and stay safe,
Mrs. Kaegi

Just a reminder to Seniors and Parents FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is required for graduation this year for Seniors. Information was sent out last Oct/Nov including a video presentation on the FAFSA process. A reminder was emailed to Seniors 2 weeks ago. The FAFSA presentation which is very helpful is located on Mr. Cruson's google classroom. Please contact Mr. Cruson with questions. dcruson@gallatincusd7.com
As part of our registration process you indicated whether your student will receive in person or virtual instruction at Gallatin County CUSD #7. As stated on page 16 of the Return to School Plan students are allowed to switch from in person to virtual learning and vice versa one (1) time in the nine (9) week grading period.
If an IN PERSON student will not be attending school on any particular day a parent or guardian must notify the office. The in person student’s lack of attendance at school will count as an absence. However, they will be able to keep up with their missed work via Google Classroom and Google Meets. The only exception to this would be if the student has a doctor note or is required to quarantine. In that instance the student will be required to log in as a virtual student and follow the remote student expectations.
Student, Parents and Guardians,
Change in January and February School Calendar:
No student attendance on Friday, January 22.
No student attendance on Friday, February 19
These days will be full remote days. Breakfast and lunches will be delivered at the same time in all communities at the regular locations at 10:30 AM.

Students, Parents, and Guardians,
Given the unique circumstances of this year, we believe there is great value in providing our students with as many instructional minutes as possible. Therefore, this year we will provide students with remote/eLearning on days when in-person learning is not possible due to adverse weather conditions (usually known as snow days).
On these days, students will have abbreviated schedules that allow them to receive quality instruction and enjoy some free time for snow cream and snowman making! A call and text message will be sent out if we cancel in-person schooling for the eLearning snow day option!
NOTE: The weather forecast for Tuesday evening into early Wednesday morning is a possible light dusting of snow. They are expecting NO accumulation; as always, we will check roads and have an eLearning day if road conditions are unsafe.
Thank you and have a marvelous Monday!
Mrs. Kaegi
