It is an honor to serve the students, parents, and staff of the Evergreen Crossroads Program. We look forward to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to improve student success. The Crossroads program provides the opportunity to meet individual student needs. Students work in a small school setting while also participating in classes and extracurricular activities within Evergreen School District.  Our focus is to build sustainable strategies that students can use to fulfill their school goals and life ambitions. The program focuses on strengthening academic achievement, appropriate social interactions, emotional growth, and appropriate behavior.

We have a wonderful staff at Crossroads who are committed to students. With a five to one student to staff ratio, Crossroads provides an environment for creating positive change. We are excited to welcome some new staff for the 2023-2024 school year. Cliff Thorsen, our new behavior specialist, comes to us from East Evergreen Elementary and brings with him a wealth of knowledge. He loves working with kids and works the Crossroads Extended School Year program during the summer, which allows him to build relationships with students and parents. Alex Myers, our new 5/6 teacher, looks forward to bringing his energy and enthusiasm to the classroom. He will also be a new football coach for Evergreen School District. He strives to meet the needs of the whole child and looks forward to new challenges. 

I hope you are experiencing everything the Flathead Valley has to offer with your family and friends. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns throughout the school year. We look forward to partnering with you to ensure your child has a fantastic school year. 

Sincerely,
Mike Barton
