Hi Families, Just a quick reminder, we have Parent Teacher Conferences April 16 & 17 from 4-7 PM. Our 6-8th grade teachers will be set up in the Elementary Gym and would love to share your student's achievements with you! If you would prefer a private conference with your student's teacher, they will be happy to accommodate that as well. We hope to see you all here!

🚌📚 Our 8th graders had an unforgettable field trip to Helena, MT yesterday! They toured the Capitol building, sat in on a live legislative session, and even got to meet a few state lawmakers. 🏛️👩‍⚖️👨‍⚖️ It was a hands-on lesson in civics, history, and the power of active citizenship. So proud of these students for asking thoughtful questions and representing our school with curiosity and respect! 💬👏Thank you to Mr. Buerkle for organizing this wonderful off-campus learning experience! #CivicEngagement #MontanaCapitol #FieldTripFun #FutureLeaders

For our recent advisory classes, Stevensville Middle School students were challenged to create their own "Growth Mindset" posters based on the amazing bulletin board in our MS lobby. They reflected on fixed mindset thoughts they may have and had to change them into growth mindset thoughts.

Our grade-level winners of this poster competition were: 6th grade: Reata Jones & Veda McCarthy! 7th grade: Zedekiah Spiers! 8th grade: Luca Schmidt! Congratulations to our winners and great work everyone! If you ever have the chance, please stop by our middle school as all of the Growth Mindset posters will be hung up proudly in our halls!
