Target Range School is working with civil engineers to develop design improvement ideas for our pick-up and drop-off. This was a concern shared by many parents and staff members during our strategic planning process. With this survey, we will learn about parent and staff experiences with the circulation of people walking, biking, taking the bus, and/or driving around the school property during pick-up and drop-off times. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and will use the survey results to inform design alternatives and a future circulation plan. For the questions that ask you to refer to the “map” please use the map found at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15XpClPsXKUUCDxSEjyptvodq-ccigqrs/view?usp=sharing.

Become a Writing Coach for Target Range School Are you a middle school parent looking for new ways to volunteer at the school? And/Or are you a professional who values education and has some time here and there to contribute, but not a lot of time... You should become a Writing Coach! Training for new coaches is scheduled: • Wed, Oct 13 • 6:00-8:45pm • At Target Range School Writing Coaches of Montana will host a training for volunteers interested in serving as a Writing Coach at Target Range School. We are looking for retirees, parents, grandparents, community members, and other professionals to volunteer to help our students with writing skills. Writing is a key skill across all professions and your experience and expertise provides an authentic opportunity for our students to connect across generations and improve communication. At the training you will learn valuable strategies for working with our middle school students. No teaching experience needed! And no need to be a great writer – we are looking for great listeners to provide an authentic audience for our young writers. Once trained you will have opportunities to sign-up for brief volunteer assignments that fit with your schedule, no long-term commitment needed. Writing Coaches of Montana started in Missoula over 25 years ago and has expanded to the Bitterroot and Flathead valleys. We hope you will join us and encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to join us also! If you have any questions about Writing Coaches of Montana or this training, please reach out to Cassie Sheets, Executive Director, at cassie@writingcoachesofmontana.org.
