New Teacher Retreat
Roy Petitfils was the primary speaker and he was a big hit. His website (www.roypetitfils.com) is a great place to keep up to date on his blog and his writing. Roy will be speaking at St. Labre in October and in March in Helena for the youth convention. Doug Tooke was a speaker on Tuesday. Since Doug lives here (Helena) he is a great option for your school events.
Principal Portal
On the Montana Catholic Schools website (www.montanacatholicschools.org) there is a "Principal Portal" under "Links & Documents" full of great resources for principals. We're working today on getting all the forms for personnel evaluation updated and uploaded.
Online Forms
On the Montana Catholic Schools website we now have writable PDF forms for teachers & principals such as field trip forms, student medical forms, etc.
