Whitebead Public School

🎤🦆 A Special Visit from Mr. Nick the Storyteller! Whitebead students and staff recently enjoyed a wonderful visit from Mr. Nick the Storyteller, who shared the fascinating story of Clarence Nash, the original voice of Donald Duck, who was from Watonga, Oklahoma. A big thank you to Mrs. Briscoe for writing the grant that made this visit possible, and to the Pauls Valley Foundation for Academic Excellence for providing the grant support that brought this experience to our school. We appreciate opportunities like this that bring learning to life for our students!

Whitebead will be in school tomorrow Friday January 30th. If you live in an area where it is still too dangerous to drive just call the office after 8am and let us know. It will be an excused absence.

We know you miss us, we really miss you too! However, we still have a good part of our district we don't feel is safe to travel on especially in the morning. We will be out Thursday January 29th.

Due to the ongoing impact of the winter storm Whitebead Schools will be closed Wednesday January 28th. We want to say thank you to our maintenance and transportation staff for working to ensure the safety of everyone.

Missoula will not be having auditions tonight and will be reschedule. Date and time to come later.

Whitebead will have another snow day Tuesday January 27th.

Whitebead Schools will have a Snow Day tomorrow due to snow! 🤣 Be safe and warm!

Whitebead Schools will move to virtual education tomorrow. Based on reports from the National Weather Service we believe there is a good chance of winter precipitation before and during afternoon bus routes and parent pick ups would be taking place. If your student has an IEP their contingency plan is in place till we return to school.

The Student Council will be doing a fundraiser for one of our janitors, Maribel Lira, at school. She has been diagnosed with cancer and had surgery recently. We are raising money for her and her family during this time of need. During the 8th Grade Night for basketball on Jan. 28th, the Student Council will be selling tickets for a chance to win in a shooting competition. Tickets will be sold at the game. Donations are also welcome for those that want to help but not compete. Attached is a flyer for the fundraiser.
