Good Afternoon Polson Families!
It has been a great first week at Polson and I'm impressed with how well the students have transitioned to the new school year. It's wonderful to have the hallways filled and hear students catching up with their friends and getting to know their teachers.
Interscholastic Sports
Please encourage students to check their school email for information regarding fall interscholastic sports. More information will be shared from coaches regarding the first day of practice.
Academic Clubs are Coming
We are excited to be able to offer a variety of after-school clubs this year and are in the process of finalizing plans. Remind your child to listen to the announcements for upcoming news on what's happening around Polson this fall.
Chromebooks
Please make sure students bring their charged district-issued Chromebook to school each day. Having a charged Chromebook every day is critical, and we thank you for reminding your child to get in a routine for daily charging.
