PAL Families, 10/02/26
I hope everyone had a great week! We have a busy couple of weeks ahead with several activities, college and career opportunities, and a few important deadlines to keep on everyone’s radar.
This week, our students had the opportunity to participate in some great learning experiences outside of the classroom. Our Primitive Class visited Ash Grove, and our Bats Class traveled to Lewis & Clark Caverns. We also continued preparing students for upcoming college and career opportunities.
Looking ahead to next week, there is quite a bit happening:
- Tuesday, October 6: The University of Montana will have a table at PAL in the morning to present to interested students. We will also have College Application Day with Helena College. Students who are considering college after graduation should take advantage of this opportunity to get some help with the free application process and learn more about the process of applying to college and what to expect. The orientation students will also visit God’s Love with Emily P.
- Wednesday, October 7: Our Primitive Class will be traveling to Moose Creek Campground.
- Thursday, October 8: Students who utilize Pre-Ets services will meet with vocational rehabilitation on Thursday to continue planning for life after high school.
- Friday, October 9: B2 ends. Please make sure students are caught up on assignments and have communicated with teachers about anything that still needs to be completed. Work during the week may take students off the STAT list for the following Monday!
As we wrap up B2 and move into the next part of the semester, this is a good time for students to check grades, finish outstanding work, and make sure they are taking care of the little things that help them stay successful.
As always, thank you for your continued support of our students and PAL. Have a great weekend!
