With the University of Montana already in session, Missoula County Public School District One schools will also begin the 2019-2020 school year this week.
Kindergarten is the first contact most kids have with the public school system, and students lucky enough to have Mrs. Michelle Salisbury at Cold Springs Elementary are especially fortunate.
Elementary students at both Franklin and Lowell Schools will be moved to alternate buildings in the 2016-2017 school year, so that construction can begin on new or remodeled facilities.
Kindergarten registration is getting started a month earlier than usual this year, primarily due to a larger number of students expected in Missoula public schools.
