St. Ignatius Public Schools

The first day of fall sports' practice is Fri 8/15. The informational fall sports meeting will be held on Mon 8/11 @6:00pm in the "new" gym at MHS. All students planning to participate in fall sports (or any season sport, for that matter), and their parents, are encouraged to attend to learn about updates to the 2025-2026 Activities Handbook, as well as to collect/sign forms required for all student-athletes to participate in sports. This is also a good opportunity to ask questions in a community setting. The AD, along with the fall sports coaches, will be there to answer your questions and the coaches will then meet in groups with the upcoming participants of their respective sports to go over game/practice schedules and rules/expectations of their student-athletes. A reminder that a sports physical (now good for TWO years, starting this 2025-2026 season, per the MHSA) is required before being allowed to participate in practice, so please be sure to have that done prior to 8/15. Another reminder that the meeting STARTS @6:00pm, and if you're planning to collect/sign forms at the door, the line gets long and slow. Show up early, or wait to get/sign your forms until after the meeting so you don't miss any information. GO DOGS!!!

🎉 Celebrating Pam Rodeghiero’s Next Adventure 🎉 After 27 incredible years at St. Ignatius Schools, beloved teacher Pam Rodeghiero is preparing for a new journey — she will be moving to Quito, Ecuador to teach 3rd grade at an international school. Pam began her teaching career in Lincoln, Nebraska, spending her first four years at a middle school there. She holds a degree from the University of Northern Iowa (Class of 1993) and earned her Master’s from the University of Montana in 2003. She joined the St. Ignatius Schools staff in 1997 and has been a cornerstone of the school community ever since. Throughout her time here, Pam has taught a wide range of grades — including 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and TKO — and says she could never pick a favorite. Each grade level brought its own joys and challenges, and she cherished the chance to grow alongside her students year after year. Pam says the best part of teaching has always been learning new things with her students and watching their excitement in the classroom — especially when they beg her to keep reading during a read-aloud. She treasures the hugs, drawings, and everyday moments that make teaching so rewarding. What she has loved most about teaching in St. Ignatius is the deep sense of community — knowing most of the kids in her class before the school year even begins because she’s taught someone in their family. Watching students grow from children into young adults has been one of her greatest joys. As she prepares to leave, Pam shares that she’ll miss the little things that make Montana home: running into familiar faces no matter where she goes, hiking the mountains, watching baby calves in the spring, and yes — being able to drink clean water straight from the sink (something she won’t be able to do in Ecuador!). Pam Rodeghiero leaves behind a legacy of dedication, connection, and heart. St. Ignatius is grateful for her many years of service and wishes her the very best in her new adventure abroad. 💙
