Scheduled Safety Drill Draft

We want to let you know that we will be conducting a lockdown drill with students on November 10th as part of our ongoing commitment to campus safety and preparedness.


These drills help students and staff become familiar with the procedures we would follow in the event of an emergency. The drill will be conducted in a calm, age-appropriate manner, with faculty guiding students through the process and providing reassurance along the way.


We believe it is important for students to understand these procedures while also ensuring they feel safe and comfortable at school.

Thank you for your partnership as we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our community.

Admissions

We are looking for parent volunteers to help make our upcoming Admissions Open House a warm and welcoming experience for prospective families. As members of our community, you are some of our best ambassadors!


Whether greeting families, answering questions, sharing your family's experience, or helping guests feel at home, your participation makes a meaningful difference. It's a wonderful opportunity to share what makes Billings such a special place for middle school students.


If you are available to lend a hand, we would love to have you join us!

When: Saturday, November 14th 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon. 


Not a fan of events? There are other ways to help!



We’re also looking for families to help spread the word about Billings. If you’re willing to write an online review, share a Billings experience that has helped your child learn and grow, or share our Facebook and Instagram posts, please reach out to Stephanie. Every bit helps!

Alumni are invited to gather after the Open House on Saturday, November 14th, starting at noon. Reconnect with old classmates and teachers while you make some s'mores! RSVP at the link below.

Annual Fund

Annual Fund Update


Thank you to every family who has given to this year’s Annual Fund. We’ve raised $56,000, 56% of our $100,000 goal, and schoolwide participation is at 46%, led by our 6th grade class with 60%.


We’ve heard from a number of families who are still planning their gift, so we’re keeping the Annual Fund open through November 20. That gives everyone a little more time to take part.


We still have $44,000 to go, and every gift moves us closer. Participation matters too. A gift of any size counts toward our participation number, and a pledge made today counts now even if you pay later. When nearly every family takes part, it shows foundations, prospective families, and each other that this community believes in what happens here. If you’re able to give at a higher level this year, it will make a real difference in reaching our goal.


If you’ve already given and your employer matches gifts, now is a good time to submit your match request. It’s one of the easiest ways to grow your gift.


You can give online, drop off a check at the front desk, or make a pledge.


Thank you!

Nick

Break Camps @ Billings: 
Steve & Kate's Camp


With Fall Break and Winter Break approaching, we wanted you to know that Billings will be hosting Steve & Kate’s Camp on our campus for Fall, Winter, Mid-Winter, and Spring Breaks this school year.


"When school's out, give kids what they need—freedom to expand and evolve.”


At Steve & Kate’s, campers choose which activities they do, whom they do it with and for how long. For kids, this experience is pure joy. It’s also a kind of training ground for life, where they’ll need to be empowered and independent and resilient and responsible for their own decisions. Happy human-ing starts HERE!

Executive Function Workout!


FEEL THE BURN!


Join me (Greg: Director of The Learning Center at Billings) for a regular Tuesday morning EF workout from 8:30am to 9:30am starting Tuesday, September 15th. Developing EF, or Executive Function, requires the exercise of the brain in specific ways. Drop in on any Tuesday morning, to share stories and explore strategies for strengthening our EF muscles and by extension, that of our students.
