HELENA – Superintendent Arntzen is hosting the 2024 High School Forum in Great Falls on November 19, 2024, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The High School Forum is a free day log event that focuses on the Montana Muti-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), which improves school outcomes and student performance and ensures all students have access to a quality education. A new free Pre-Forum Training will take place on November 18. Pre-Forum Training will focus on dropout prevention intervention to increase graduation rates, youth mental health, and restorative practices. All middle and high school teachers and administrators are encouraged to register for the High School Forum and the Pre-Forum Training.
“The High School Forum reflects my Montana Hope initiative, which focuses on increasing student outcomes through the whole child approach,” said Superintendent Elsie Arntzen. “This year’s workshops will help educators build confidence in reading instruction. I encourage all of our Montana middle and high school teachers and administrators to take advantage of this great opportunity.”
