Important Action Items
Back-to-School Forms:
A PDF will be shared later today to each family containing all the Back-to-School forms required by the beginning of the school year. These forms are essential for such things as Chromebook usage, medicine administration, and trip participation. Once the document is completely filled out, you must click “Mark Complete” on the top banner of the form, and then accept the Terms of Service for eSignature. A copy of all digital forms completed in this way will be sent to your email. Please ensure all forms are filled out by September 4th. If your family hasn’t received this PDF by Friday, August 14, or if you are experiencing any difficulty filling the forms out electronically, please reach out to Becca at frontdesk@billingsmiddleschool.org.
Trip Form:
Separate from the Back-to-School forms will be the grade-level trip form, which will be Deception Pass for 6th graders, Dalles for 7th graders, and the Fall Leadership Outing for 8th graders. It will be sent in the same method as the Back-to-School forms and will require an eSignature. Likewise to the Back-to-School forms, if you have not received it or are experiencing difficulty with it, reach out to Becca at frontdesk@billingsmiddleschool.org.
Alma Log-in Information:
Billings utilizes Alma (billings.getalma.com) to store attendance and report cards. Your username for this site should be firstname.lastname (ex: john.doe) and the password must be set up by you. If you're having trouble logging in, please reach out to Becca at frontdesk@billingsmiddleschool.org.

Summer Greetings from the Billings Family Association!
We're creating a Billings Family Directory to help current families connect throughout the school year. Whether it's coordinating carpools, planning get-togethers, or reaching out to classmates' families, the directory makes it easier to stay connected. It will include each student's name and grade, along with parents' or caregivers' names, email addresses, cell phone numbers, and home addresses. The information is protected and shared only with Billings families.
If you'd prefer that some or all of your information not be included, please notify the Front Desk at frontdesk@billingsmiddleschool.org by Friday, September 18.
Please mark your calendars for the following events:
-
Aug. 22nd Community Cleanup and Social at Northacres Park (sign up)
-
Oct. 2-4 Billings Family Camping Trip at Rasar State Park (sign up)
-
Lastly, mark your calendar for the school year’s 1st BFA meeting – Tuesday, September 8th at 6:00 pm. This year, we’ll meet online via zoom. There will be announcements about upcoming events and the opportunity to ask Nick and the BFA questions.
Have questions or suggestions? Email us anytime. Thanks!
-Troy (Erick, 7th), Ellen (Linnea, 7th), and Rennie (Drew, 7th)
