St. Regis School Is Closing The Achievement Gap and Increasing It In Others
Shaun
September 16, 2024
St. Regis School is exceeding state expectations in Math and Reading scores at the elementary school level. Based on last year's data, 46% of our students scored proficient or above in Math. That is 9 points higher than the state average. In reading, 52% of our students scored proficient or above; that is 6 points higher than the state average.
The High School is experiencing similar growth. In reading, 48% of our students scored proficient or higher; that is 2 points higher than the state average. In Math, we are two points shy of the state average of 37%.
We attribute much of this success to our hardworking teachers and paraprofessionals who remain laser-focused regarding student learning. Other key factors include our coaches who spend hours upon hours each week helping teachers perfect their trade by developing research-based teaching strategies.
Critics said that we would see a dip in our scores because of the 4-day school week. We thankfully are seeing the opposite. Since the inception of the 4-day school week, we have seen steady growth each year.
What a blessing it is when the staff, admin., and school board work together to help our students succeed. Our goal is to continue this success with the new testing format the state adopted this year. I believe with hard work, we will continue this trend of growth.
Dear Tiger Family. On 9/16/2024 at approximately 1:27 pm the school went on a CODE YELLOW lockdown due to an altercation about 1 mile away. Approximately 30 minutes later, the Sheriff's Dept. detained the individual and the CODE YELLOW was lifted. A CODE YELLOW is initiated when there is no immediate threat to students. If there was an immediate threat, a CODE RED would have been triggered.

Summer EBT information has been posted in the NEWS section of the St. Regis School website.
St. Regis School - Please join the 21st Garden Club for their annual Harvest, Tuesday September 10th from 4pm to 5pm.
St. Regis School - Parents and folks dropping off students in the morning, please do not park where the buses drop off students in front of the elementary entrance. It is very important that that process is not impeded as it has trickle down effects on education time, driver pay, clogging of the street, student safety for kids crossing the street, and schedule events like breakfast and such.
Hello Tiger Family. It is so exciting to have students in the building again. We hope to have a wonderful year. I want to take this time to share with you a couple of big changes in the handbook. (1)- Cell phone are only allowed during lunch. If there is a violation, the cell phone is confiscated and the parent/guardian must pick up the phone after school (from Mrs. Jackie) . (2)- We now offer a general and honors diploma track. General diploma (20 credits) and Honors (24 credits).
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Mr. Ball
St. Regis School - If you can return your enrollment packs with all of the papers signed before the 16th it will greatly reduce the amount of paperwork the office staff are trying to process the first week of school. Thank you very much for attending to those! Lots of state and federal money and processes are tied to information in those forms, so please make sure that you are thorough. In particular, there are demarcations for homeless and shared housing that can be very beneficial for student scholarships and grants for colleges and trade schools.
St. Regis School parents and students are welcome to come in during open scheduling:
8/7 10am-12pm
8/8 10am-12pm
8/9 7am-3pm
8/10 7pm-10pm
If you need to schedule a time outside of these hours, you can email the counselor at cheesmant@stregis.k12.mt.us to schedule a phone conference.
Thank you!!
St. Regis School - Enrollment packs sent out in the mail today. Please return as soon as possible.

21st Century Summer Clubs - Driver miscommunication this morning so there will be no morning bus this morning (Monday). There will be a bus running in the afternoon.
Just a reminder that the school grounds will be left open during the afternoon and evening as long as we do not have to clean up a bunch of trash every morning on the patio and around the playground area. If that becomes an issue, the grounds will be locked up. There are trash cans on the patio and they are being emptied regularly. Please talk to your children about their usage of these spaces.
St. Regis School - If you have a 4 or 5 year old that you want to sign up for our early learning programming for the fall, the state requires that they be screened by June 30, 2024. To sign up for a screening appointment, please reach out as soon as possible to Jess at (406) 499-1249 to get scheduled. If they are not screened, we do not get funding from the state, so please assist us in spreading the word! At this point (due to low interest) we will not have to raise our cap of 10 students.
St. Regis School - Driver's Ed Parent Meeting on Thursday, June 20th at 6pm in the Counseling Room. Please text Tyler at 406-280-0091 for information.
