School is up and moving here at Havre Public Schools. As our Ponies are now filling up the classrooms, we reflect upon where we want to go this year. The 2025-26 school year has high expectations from our staff when it comes to meeting the needs of all children attending our district.
Over the summer, Havre Public Schools has updated carpet in the middle school band and choir rooms. Roof updates have occurred at Sunnyside Intermediate, along with siding updates to the west side of Lincoln McKinley. All route transportation now has functional cameras for everyone’s safety.
Havre Public Schools is now working with The Producer Partnership when it comes to providing local beef and pork to our School Foods Program. Local producers can open this LINK to find out how to donate. All producers can work directly with The Producer Partnership when it comes to receiving the tax incentive for their donation.
This year, please check out our school district website, Facebook, and Infinite Campus for monthly parent updates. Havre Public Schools is always looking for more opportunities to connect with families. I believe communication is the key to keeping everyone in the loop with the expectations we have at Havre Public Schools.
If you have any questions at any time, please reach out to me directly!
Sincerely,
Brian Gum
