Please contact Athletic Director Tom DuSold by email at thomas.dusold@colstrip.k12.mt.us or phone at 406-748-4699 ext. 4131.

***Athletics/Activities Notice*** This is just a reminder to students and their parents that students are required to be in class until their dismissal time on game days. If a coach schedules a practice prior to departure, the coach is responsible for the athletes just as they would be at an after school practice. This also applies to 8th Graders who are participating in CHS athletics. Thank you for your attention, hopefully this clears up any misunderstandings for future events.

**Community Survey** Which 24-25 School Year Calendar do you prefer? Take a short survey to let the School Board know which one you prefer the most. https://forms.gle/ZAW1bjLX5EQKnPhu6 The calendar committee proposed two calendar options. The main difference between the two is the holiday break schedule. The survey includes a link to view the two calendar options.
