As we gather for our Thanksgiving Community Lunch on Tuesday, November 25th, we’re also partnering with the University of Montana on an important project, and we’re hoping a few of our families might join us.
We are looking for 7 parents or guardians of students in 6th grade or higher to participate in a 45-minute focus group at 1:00 PM. The conversation will explore student attendance—what helps, what hinders, and what motivates our young people to come to school each day.
Your voice matters. The insights shared in this small group will directly support Alberton’s efforts to strengthen student engagement and attendance, and will help shape meaningful improvements that benefit our students, our families, and the wider community.
If you’re willing to take part, please let us know. Your perspective is incredibly valuable, and we’d be grateful to have you with us.
Interested in participating? Call 406-722-4413 and ask for Chelsea.
Thank you for all you do to support our school and our kids.
