Just a reminder to Students, Parents and Guardians about State Testing this week. On Wednesday March 25th, 9-11th grade students will be testing. 11th grade students will be taking the ACT and the 9th and 10th grade students will be taking the Pre-ACT and the Pre-ACT9 respectively. Get plenty of rest and try your best to be in attendance on Wednesday to avoid make up testing. Taking the ACT is a State Graduation requirement for 11th grade students

Gallatin County CUSD 7 will be closed tomorrow, Friday, February 6, 2026. While we were hoping to return, minimal thawing today has left road conditions unsafe even for limited bus routes. In some areas, the thaw has made roads slicker and more uneven, creating unsafe conditions for student bus travel. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Be safe everyone.
