As always, we have had some schedule changes with our basketball season. Nothing too major, but note the game times and whether or not there are JV games as some of that information has changed. Future changes are always possible, but fingers crossed that we will stay with this schedule. Thanks for being so flexible and understanding as we try to give our athletes as many opportunities as possible. Go Engineers!

Dear Harlowton Families, Just a quick update to our bus stops in town starting tomorrow. In the afternoon only, Hillcrest students may now get on the bus to come down to the high school and be dropped off. This will help Hillcrest students who live down in the flats, students who are in extracurricular activities and could use a ride to HHS for practice, and for students of staff members who work at HHS. This means there will be a 5 minute difference in other bus stop times on the East route to accommodate this change. Please share the word and talk with your child if you would like them to utilize this extra bus stop to get home, to practice or otherwise. Thank you, Mrs. B and the Bus Drivers

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Harlowton School Families! We hope you have a wonderful, safe, and restful long weekend with your loved ones. Just a reminder that we have an early release at 2:35 tomorrow afternoon and the buses will run accordingly! Lastly, so much gratitude goes to all the parents who sent in notes of gratitude for our staff here at HPS! We all certainly felt the love. Go Engineers! Mrs. B
