TR families,
Last evening the Board of Trustees approved the 2022-2023 School Calendar. This calendar aligns with the MCPS High School calendar for 2022-2023 so that families with children in both districts have approximately the same start date, the same winter break and spring break, and approximately the same end date. However, we want to point out some significant differences from this year's school calendar so that you can plan ahead.
--Students, including Kindergarten, will all begin school on Wednesday, August 31, a week later than this year's start date
-- Winter break is only one and half weeks, from December 21 through January 1. School will resume on Monday, January 2 (MCPS high schools will not be in session on Monday, January 2).
--Spring Break is March 20-24 (third full week, same as this year)
--Last day of school for grades K-7 will be a half day on Friday, June 9
Please reach out to Superintendent Heather Davis Schmidt at heather.davisschmidt@target.k12.mt.us or (406) 549-9239 if you have any questions or concerns.

U.S. Department of Education data highlights the importance of preparing our students to understand that it is not only what you know, but what you can do with what you know. By incorporating technology in all classrooms, students are better prepared with the skills and knowledge to solve tough problems, gather and evaluate evidence, and make sense of information.
As the number of technology jobs rise, we are committed to offering a variety of hands-on programs and technology rich instruction that set our students up for success.

What happens if the Technology Levy doesn’t pass?
The current levy of $20,000 will stay in place and your taxes will remain the same.
If this measure is not approved, the District’s General Fund budget will still have to cover the current technology costs. Given our declining enrollment, the General Fund is going down too. That would result in the loss of software, hardware, and other digital tools teachers use for daily instruction.

Don't forget to sign your TR student up for the MCT play. Registration is open today through Friday, April 1st.
The Target Range Board of Trustees approved a $255,000/year 10-year technology levy for the May 3rd all-mail election.
If passed, this technology levy would replace the old $20,000 technology levy passed in 2004. Since that time, our annual technology costs have grown to $367,500.
If passed, the total monthly cost for each Target Range homeowner is $2 per $100,000 of the property’s assessed value beginning July 1, 2022.
If your property’s assessed value is $200,000, it will cost $4 monthly.
If your property’s assessed value is $500,000, it will cost $10 monthly.
This levy would allow the school to maintain existing levels of technology in classrooms and for school operations.
