Glendive Public Schools would like your input! As many of you know, the District just put in front of the voters two bond measures that did not pass. We would like to learn and gather input from everyone who voted to better understand how we can improve moving forward. We are going to continue to strive to make this a transparent process in which we will continue to seek feedback to ensure we create a vision that reflects our entire community. Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out the survey. This survey is 100% anonymous. Thank you!

UPDATE from Mr. Buckley (AD): I have found officials from Sidney for Saturday's basketball games at DCHS. We will drop the middle curtain and run the games similar to how the Makoshika Tournament is run. There will be a 7th grade court and 8th grade court with games starting at 10/11:15 am. Williston will use the girls PE locker rooms and our girls will be in the varsity girls locker room.
UPDATE from Mr. Buckley (AD): We have rescheduled the WMS mixer with Miles City and Sidney for Monday, November 18th at the DCHS gym starting at 4 pm.
REMINDER: Tomorrow, 11/7/19, is an early out release at 1:18 pm for students. That will be followed by parent/teacher conferences from 2-8 pm. The middle school does not schedule specific times for parents to meet with teachers like the elementary schools. Instead parents can meet with the teachers in their classrooms as they are available. Mrs. Svenvold (Choir) will be at WMS from 2-5 pm and the HS from 5-8 pm.
Parents, please pick up your child's schedule at the main office when you arrive. A map will also be provided of the school. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Bad news again regarding the floor at Washington Middle School. We had some valves that we estimate are 70 years old, leak under the gym floor. When we turned on the boilers here a few weeks ago, the water then started to evaporate and rise into the wood once again buckling the floor. We have had plumbers in to remove the valves and fix the leaks, a mitigation/restoration company in to dry things out and western sports floors in to evaluate the damage to the floor. We were hopeful that the mitigation was going to return the floor buckling to normal, but unfortunately there wasn't any change in the conditions. The end result is a gym we can not use for any contests until repairs are made. All girls basketball home games will be played at DCHS unless notified otherwise. The WMS Wrestling Mixer scheduled for Nov 21st will be cancelled as DCHS is not available that day. We apologize to everyone for this inconvenience as we work through this issue.
