Hello GPS families. We have an exciting event coming to Glendive that we would like to invite you all to attend. Jeff Veley will be here in person on September 29 to present a Squabbles Family Game Show.
During this interactive event, Jeff brings students onstage to resolve crazy conflicts and compete in hilarious resilience-building challenges. Through lots of laughter, parents and kids learn how to identify aggression, manage emotions and resolve social conflicts – simply and easily.
SQUABBLES LIVE! brings a playful approach to the painful problem of bullying. As a result, families leave viewing conflicts as an opportunity to build resilience in students. Resilience-building games and mental health resources are provided.
This energetic event is packed with music, illusions, and plenty of audience participation.
We look forward to seeing you all there.
Go down to the Gallery from 1-4 for a silent auction. All items were donated by alumni and teachers from the 90’s. An amazing collection of talent! All proceeds go back to the DCHS art department earmarked for community beautification.
As the new school year approaches we are once again in need of substitutes. Please consider applying and being a part of our amazing team. You can pick which school, days and hours you want to work. Just go to www.glendiveschools.com and click on employment opportunities on the top right hand corner and complete and application.

In order to have the best schools that we can, the first step is getting feedback from all stakeholders. As community members, your feedback is vital to assist us in creating the best learning environments for our students. Please help us out by filling out the following survey. The more we know how to improve, the better experience we will be able to set up for our students, teachers and staff. If you have already taken another one of our surveys (staff or family), we invite you to take this as well as it has different questions on it. We would love it if every person in our community could give us feedback.

Glendive Public Schools in the process of recruiting teachers for the next school year. We need your help!
The last couple of years have disrupted how teacher recruitment is done as many Job Fairs have been moved to a virtual platform. There is a teacher shortage across the country. This shortage has made it difficult for rural schools (like Glendive) to recruit and hire effective teachers.
We know that when we work together, we will be able to build stronger schools and a stronger community. We know that when looking for candidates, we have a higher success rate when the candidate has ties to our community. We don't just want to recruit people, we want to recruit highly effective people that will be a great "fit" for our schools and community. This will ensure that they will stay here for years to come.
If you know of a person that is going to graduate in education or someone who is already in education who would be a good "fit" for GPS and Glendive, please fill out the following survey. We will reach out to them.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this quick (4 question survey). We look forward to getting this information to continue to build upon a great group of educators.

Reading was celebrated across the nation during the month of March. Here are some great ways to incorporate reading into the month of March and beyond.
1. Go Book Shopping. This can be done anywhere from local bookstores to Amazon or with a trip to the library. Ask friends, librarians, and teachers for some great book recommendations.
2. Get Comfortable. Designate a special spot in your house for reading. Fill it with pillows, blankets, and books. It doesn’t have to be big.
3. Set Aside Family Reading Time. It is a lot easier to get everyone reading if everyone is doing it together. Set aside a designated amount of time each night. This may include reading a book as a family or everyone reading on their own.
4. Celebrate With a Movie. As a family, you can choose a book that also has a movie. After you read the book together, you can all settle in and watch the movie together. You can even have a discussion about which one you thought was better and why.
