SLE community,
We want to thank you for being so flexible/understanding in times like this. We WILL have school tomorrow (Friday). If your child isn’t feeling well, please keep them home. Students/staff shouldn’t return to school until 24 hours after their last symptoms (without the aid of medicine). If you prefer to keep your child home to be cautious, we understand and support that decision. Please share.
Mr. Gibbs

SLE Community,
After monitoring the number of staff/subs available and trying to come up with a plan that would allow us to safely operate a school, we have decided to cancel school tomorrow. With the level of contagiousness, we also think it’s important to limit the spread to our community. We will take this opportunity to deep clean the schools and classrooms. Please remember that students shouldn’t return to school until a minimum of 24 hours after any flu like symptoms. We apologize for the inconvenience that this puts on our families. Please share!
Mr. Gibbs

Attention: PLEASE READ
We have had a lot of students and staff out this week due to a stomach bug. Today we were unable to get enough subs to fill all of the staff that was out. We were able to shuffle our staff and get it covered. We are concerned that tomorrow we might not have enough staff to safety operate the school. We are working hard on our plans to have everything covered to safely open. We will make a decision by 7:30 pm (tonight) if we can safely open. Please check the Facebook page, app or website for updates.

Thank you Toni Sexton for everything you do. Our kids all know they have you on their side. Thanks for all that you do for your kids and school!


On Wednesday morning, Feb. 9, a SLE staff member was informed of a report that a student was talking about having a weapon. Mr. Gibbs notified the Missoula County Sheriffs department through Deputy Heath Hanson of a potential threat. The student was secured and questioned. The student and students possessions were searched.
After further investigation the student was discussing the new BB gun that they just got (at home). It was deemed that there wasn’t a threat to the school. Thank you to our local law enforcement for the prompt response.
Mr. Gibbs

Friday is our 6th- 8th grade Valentine’s Day Dance. Swan Valley is hosting this dance in Condon. We will provide a bus for SLE students. The bus will leave SLE at 5:30 and return around 8:30. We will send home parent permission slips to ride the bus tomorrow. Students must have this filled out to ride the bus. If you want to drive your child up and pick them up that is fine. The dance is from 6-8.
