After School Program at Lewis & Clark
.Did you know…

Over 42,000 school age children in Montana are left unsupervised after school.

Research demonstrates that quality after
school programs support children’s personal safety, social resiliency, academic
achievement, relationships with concerned adults, and leadership experiences
as well as parent employment and economic productivity.

In Montana, the top 3 reasons cited for
selecting an after school program are:
1) Child enjoyment, 2) Affordability, &
3) Safety of facilities and teachers.
The Discover Zone after school program offers
non-school time, skill-building activities to
ALL students who attend Lewis & Clark Middle School. There is no cost to join and Discover Zone offers a variety of activities for
students to choose from.
We have had a busy and fulfilling first
quarter in the 8th grade. Numerous parent/
team meetings have taken place and we are
working together to help students have a
successful 8th grade year. Whether your
student is on Team Griz or one of the
Wolves, you have an excellent group of
teachers educating your child every day!
Many students and parents of last year’s
7th graders have shared with me their disappointment in not having Mr. Dennis Cox
with us this year. We have spoken several
times and may I share with you he is happy
at Skyview High School, but misses all of
us. Lewis & Clark is a special school with
extraordinary families and will not be replaced in his heart. My hope is that I live
up to parents’, students’ and staff’s expectations for the 8th Grade Counselor.
Please be in contact if I can be of service
to you and your student. My office phone
is 281-5969 and my email is:
beaumontm@billingsschools.org. Thanks!
Discover Zone is currently offering activities
after school, Mondays through Thursdays,
until 5:00 pm. Students can choose from:
Girls Only Club, Cooking Club, NASA Space
Club, Movie Club, Games Club, Lego Labs, and
MUCH MUCH MORE!!!
It’s never too late to join Discover Zone! Discover Zone will offer after school activities
from now through the end of the school year.
Call Rob Bryson, Youth Development Coordinator, at 850-2540 for more information.
Prompted by complaints from drivers on
14th St W, between Grand & Lewis, the
Billings Police Department will be enforcing the “No Parking” zones around
Lewis & Clark Middle School. According to SRO Zorzakis, “a danger zone
exists on the west side of Lewis &
Clark”. Parents are illegally stopping
southbound on 14th St W to pick up their
kids, creating a danger zone for both cars
and students. The southbound traffic lane
is not wide enough to safely accommodate both stopping and the flow of normal traffic. The danger is increased in
this zone, when students cross in the
middle of the street, in between vehicles,
to reach parents illegally stopped across
the street. SRO Zorzakis suggests parents
pull into the parking lot behind the
school to safely pick up their kids. A
little cooperation goes a long way in
keeping our children safe.
Lewis & Clark School Safety
I want to assure the parents of Lewis & Clark Middle School that the staff is doing everything
possible to keep your children safe. The following procedures have been implemented over the
last school year:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
All doors except the front doors will be kept locked during the school day.
All visitors will sign in at the office and receive a visitor’s badge. This includes visits
to the cafeteria during lunch hours. All parents or visitors in the building must have a
badge or school personnel will send the visitor back to the office.
Throughout this school year, Lewis & Clark will be practicing the following:
several fire drills, an evacuation to our alternative location, (The Shrine Auditorium), a lockdown, and a shelter in place (snowstorms, chemical spills).
Some of our drills will take place during the lunch hour and during passing times.
The staff will be talking to students about emergency situations, safe locations, and
how to find a staff member for help if they are transitioning between classes.
The Lewis & Clark staff takes great pride in teaching our students to cooperate with
school personnel during an emergency.
We understand that these new safety rules can be stressful and time consuming, however, the
safety of our students and staff is our utmost concern. Thank you for your patience and cooperation! Steve Pomroy, Principal
Parent / Teacher Conferences December 8th !
Lewis & Clark
teachers would like
to invite you to attend parent/teacher
conferences on December 8, 2011.
Through the efforts of our teaching staff, this
is one of the first times in many years that
this opportunity has been made available to
our parents.
Our format will not be like the traditional K
-6 schools and we will not arrange for exact
meeting times. However, our teaching staff
will be in their classrooms during the scheduled sessions. You are encouraged to see as
many, or all, of your child’s teachers on your
own schedule. Chairs will be outside each
door if you choose to wait for a busy teacher,
or you can simply find your way to the next
closest teacher on your list.
For your convenience, we have scheduled
two different sessions. Because of the large
number of students we serve, we ask you to
limit your contact time to eight minutes or
less with the teachers with whom you choose
to speak. However, if our conferences do not
provide you with enough time, please schedule a TEAM/teacher meeting with Mrs. Neff,
7th grade Counselor or Mrs. Beaumont, 8th
grade Counselor.
On Wednesday, December 7th, your student
will be given a copy of his/her schedule to
give to you, which will include teacher names
and classroom numbers for your convenience.
As a reminder, students will be dismissed at
11:30a.m. on both December 8th and December 9th, with conferences only on December
8th.
We hope you can join us on the 8th, and we
look forward to seeing you!

C.A.R.E Club is a new spin on several old clubs here at Lewis and Clark. The club unifies
the efforts of Beta Club, Montana Behavior Youth Leadership Team, and Rachel’s Challenge
Chain Links Club. We are a service-learning club providing services to our school and community through activities such as the coat drive, food drive and Penny’s for Patients. In addition, we will be focusing on promoting positive relationships and helping to build a kind and
caring atmosphere within our school walls. The club is currently facilitated by Mrs. Gullett
and Mrs. Roberts and meets on Wednesday mornings in the Library at 7:40. Elected officers
are Lily Dyre, President, Jeananne Lemlin, Vice President, Ellen Taylor, secretary and Morgan Legare along with Jesse Krum are our historians. Thus far our club has coordinated the
Red Ribbon Week events. Next, we will put our efforts towards our annual Lewis and Clark
Coat Drive. The winter coats will be donated to the Women’s and Family Shelter. The Club
is asking for the donation of gently used coats of all sizes from infant to adult. Having them
clean and fresh at the time of donation is encouraged! While our club is underway, we are
still encouraging new members to stop by on Wednesday morning to see what we are all
about!
Red Ribbon Week
2011 was a success!
The newly
anointed C.A.R.E
Club (Consider and
Respect Everyone
Club) was in charge of the weekly activities and choosing the ever popular spirit days. We
kicked off the event on Monday with Mismatch Day. The day called attention to the notion
that drugs and people definitely are not a match! Tuesday’s theme was to encourage students to “Mosey away from drugs” and wear something cowboy. Wednesday we called on
the Super Hero in all of us. There were many creative heroes willing to accept the challenge
to be drug free. Wednesday was also the day in which students made a pledge to be drug free
by placing red pledge ribbons on their lockers. Thursday’s Urkel Day brought out the
“smarty-pants” in many. Students and staff were encouraged to make a smart decision when
dealing with drugs. The celebrations culminated with Friday and Retro Day. Being Drug
Free is Groovy, and our Scouts certainly proved this as we took a trip back in time with poodle skirts, rolled Levi’s and leg warmers! All in all, the week was a lot of fun, confirming
that Being Drug Free is the life for Lewis and Clark Scouts!
A Moment in Time
Captured
and Frozen Forever!

Red Ribbon Week 2011
“Super Hero Day”
History Alive
Diversity Club
The main theme of Diversity Club is for
students to come together and share their
culture. This would include their foods,
special celebrations and customs.
We also have a community outreach with
The YWCA Center located on Lewis not
too far from our school where we collect
certain items on a list they provided. This
year we will have an outreach with Angela’s Piazza as well.
Lewis and Clark’s history department had
some fun with the causes of the American
Revolution. Nels Jensen, Kate McAuliffe,
and Casey Visser presided over a town hall
meeting in which students, posed as Patriots
(for Independence), Loyalists (against Independence), or Neutralists, debated the course
of American history. Students prepared for
the meeting for a few days and then had a
great historical simulation in which many of
them dressed in period costume. The instructors even had colonial costumes for the event!
This year Mrs. Waddington hosted the event
in the media center with festive decor. Fun
was had by all, and more importantly – the
students understood why we broke free from
Great Britain.
Town Hall Meeting 1776
Walk/Run-a-Thon 2011
The 2011 Annual Walk/Run-a-Thon was
a success! Lewis & Clark students raised
over $2,700 in donations this year. We
are very thankful and proud of
our Lewis & Clark students
for their part in this year’s
walk/run-a-thon. Thanks to
everyone who participated.
We Need Calculators!
Several of our students are without calculators for
daily use. If you have an extra calculator at home
you are not using, please consider donating it to
Lewis and Clark. Any hand-held calculator will be
put to good use in both classroom settings and
testing settings. All donations will be welcome there is no particular need to have an expensive
scientific calculator as we use four function calculators as well. Please drop off any donated calculator in the main office. Thank you!
The club will have a " popcorn" concession
stand at the November 5th SD2 Powwow
that will be held at Senior High .We will
continue to decorate lockers for our classmates" Birthday" as our year long project
to earn some money for our club.....For $ 5
your child would have their locker decorated, with a card and prize delivered,
Please call us if you have any questions.
Club meeting date is after school in Room
223 on Tuesdays 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. Snacks
are provided.
Mrs. Neiter 281 - 5917
What does wrestling and English have in
common? Nothing, unless you are a student
in Mrs. Bodine’s English class. Twenty-six
students battled the sweltering heat to partake in the annual Saturday Live event held
at Pioneer Park. The English Sumo Wrestling booth, manned by six or more students
at a time, had a record breaking year: nearly
$300 was raised to purchase new books for
the curriculum. Though many books exist
on the seventh grade approved reading list,
the District’s budget can only afford to
purchase replacements for books we already
have in stock. Therefore, these funds will
allow students to vote for one of seven approved books and bring it into the school.
The goal, ultimately, is to have enough
copies to checkout to each student--a goal
that takes several years to accomplish. The
students learned about customer service,
leadership, and responsibility. It was an “on
-the-job” training experience that brought
out many different strengths in different
students. Thank you to all who volunteered!
Library Happenings
This fall the library linked up to some
great online resources through the Montana State Library. Our new magazine
and reference data base is called EBSCO. Look for the links on the library
website and on the Parents/Students page. The
password outside the district network is: discovery
Be sure to also take
advantage of our new
online tutoring program. Your student
has access to live
tutor help school
nights from 2-11 p.m. Outside of those hours are
great video resources, worksheets, practice tests,
and appropriate web resources. Be sure to use the
link from our school website so that your login to
Tutor.com is free.
Battle of the Books can still use some readers for
our middle school competition. This year’s list is
available on the library website. Most of the titles
are available on our nooks to check out as well as
paper books. Teams will be finalized in December
so there is still time to sign up. Our school and city
battles will be in February.
Our first Lunch & Learn was held
Oct 5th. Students learned about
Greek deities and how to wrap a
toga so that they were ready for our
Barnes & Noble Book Fair. We
kicked off the new Rick Riordan
book, Son of Neptune, with fun,
games, photo booth and contests. We have Lunch
& Learns scheduled for Nov 9 and Dec 21.
Manga / Anime club meets in the library before
school on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays. The first project
was to create avatars and dress up like them for a
contest. We hope our group photo helps earn our
school a set of vote devices!
Our Scholastic Book Fair will be open in the library
during the week of Dec 5-9. There will be books
and posters for all ages that make perfect holiday
gifts.
Stop by the library to see what is happening, or
click on the library website: https://
sites.google.com/a/billingsschools.org/lewis-clarkmiddle-school-library/
PLEASE CHECK IN
As a safety precaution for our students,
we need to have ALL parents and
visitors check in the main office.
You will be asked to sign in and
you will receive a visitor’s pass.
For your child’s safety, our teachers are
trained to stop and question any person
who does not have a valid pass. Please
remember to check in each and every
time you enter the building!

Billings Public Schools: No Child Left Behind
Results for School Year 2010-2011
Every year, students in Billings Public Schools (grades 3-8 and grade 10) take tests as part of the federal
program called No Child Left Behind (NCLB). These tests make sure every student, every school and
the entire district are making Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP. We want to share the results of last
year’s reading and math tests with you.
To make AYP, a set number of students in every school must score at the “Proficient” and “Advanced”
levels. This is true for the entire school, as well as several sub-categories, such as students with disabilities. If one sub-category fails, that causes the whole school to fail. If one school fails, that causes the
whole district to fail.
Billings Public Schools has been doing well on the tests. The requirements have been increasing each
year. This year, 83% of our student were required to be proficient or advanced in reading. In math, 68%
of our students were required to be proficient or advanced. Both our elementary district (Kindergarten –
8th grade) and high school district (9 – 12th grade) failed to make AYP.
How are Billings Public Schools going to meet these goals in the future?
1) Programs that help students in Reading
*Read 180
*LANGUAGE!
*Leveled Literacy Intervention Program (LLI)
2) Programs that help students in Math
*SuccessMaker
*Knowing Mathematics
*FastMath
*Trans Math
3) Training for teachers so they can give the right kids the right help at the right time.
How Did Lewis & Clark Middle School Do?
Overall, the students at Lewis & Clark Middle School do quite well on the measurements for AYP. In
fact, 86% of our students are proficient or advanced in Reading, and 74% of our students are proficient or
advanced in math. However, the following student groups are struggling to meet the required mark: Economically Disadvantaged, Students with Disabilities, and American Indian students. The following graph
shows that these students are making good progress yet still are falling short of the target.

What is Lewis & Clark Doing to Improve?
We are carefully screening our students to find those in need of interventions so these target goals can be met. Students are
enrolled in Read 180 or LANGUAGE! as needed to help students achieve in the area of Reading. In the area of math, students
are referred to SuccessMaker lab for extra work on math skill building. Additionally, students in the resource room math classroom have access to SuccessMaker materials in addition to using the research-based program, TransMath. American Indian
students receive tutoring help from out American Indian advocate and tutor in math using the Fast Math program. Tutoring is
available after school in all math classrooms for all students. In-Service is provided to teachers on a regular basis.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please call the Principal, Steve Pomroy at 281-5900.
Thank you, Scouts’
Honor Sponsors!
The Scouts’ Honor program recognizes
students who are academic achievers.
Each quarter any student who achieves a
3.5 or higher grade point average receives a Scouts’ Honor card which entitles that student to discounts and free
items from area merchants. We would
like to thank our Scouts’ Honor sponsors.
Please patronize these fine merchants!

“STUDENT COUNCIL IS
PUTTING YOU FIRST”
Lewis and Clark Student Council has
been very busy this fall! The twenty
five person council has already raised
over $800 at Saturday Live with our
fishing pond/bean bag toss. Student
council
helped with
our
special ice
cream
social for our
little
league champions
as well as
guiding tours for
open
house. We
have many exciting projects lined up
for this year including a video announcement group, and a school dance
committee. We are proudly taking part
in Mr. Jarvis’ “Two Roads” project
