Plentywood Schools

Attention Route Bus Parents: FEMA is now predicting another 3-8 inches of snow and up to 50 mph winds. After further review of forecasts and seeing that it will not get any better even by mid-morning, there will be NO buses ran tomorrow! (We will still have school as normal for town students.)

If any town student who has to walk to school and is in need of a ride in the morning, please contact Rob Pedersen at (406)478-1431 or the school office and we will provide you transportation.

ATTENTION BUS ROUTE PARENTS: We will run buses late tomorrow morning exactly two (2) hours later for all pick ups. This will give us time for plows to get out and to better assess the road and weather conditions. School will run with normal times for all town students.

School will dismiss as regular today at 3:33 pm for those not riding buses.

Attention Rural Parents: With worsening road and weather conditions, we are sending buses home from school at 1:30 pm today. We will keep you informed if any adjustments need to be made for tomorrow morning.

Route Parents: Route buses are running this morning but will be driving slow and careful so may be a bit later than normal pickup times. Parents and students driving to school are cautioned to drive slow and careful or come in later if needed. Be careful!

PHS Child Development class is in need to borrow 6 infant car seat carriers. Students will be assigned the Real Care babies in April and will need to transport their “baby” to school and home in an infant carrier. Please call Plentywood Schools at 406-765-1803 and leave a voicemail with Mrs. Osksa if you can help us out! We would need to borrow the carrier for about one month. Please put your name on the back/bottom so we know who to return the seats to. Thank you for your help with teaching our students the demands of raising an infant.
