Principal's Corner
Welcome back and “Happy New Year!” I hope everyone had an enjoyable break with time to relax and get ready for the end of second quarter. We appreciate the opportunity to work with your students and seeing their academic successes. We are also looking forward to our upcoming Winter Graduation. It is a wonderful time to celebrate the accomplishments of our students and the culmination of their hard work.
Thank You & Go Cougars!
Winter Weather and the Boise School District
Education is important and every missed day of school represents lost learning opportunities. However, the Boise School District's primary concern is for the safety of all students, including students riding busses and walking or biking to school. If students cannot safely travel to school or if schools are not able to operate safely because of city-wide dangerous weather conditions, school may be cancelled.
We will not cancel school on days with normal wintery conditions. Light snowfall, cold mornings or areas of ice are not sufficiently dangerous to force the closure of schools. With proper precautions including appropriate clothing, road deicing, and careful driving, students can travel to and from school safely.
If school will be closed, we will communicate to local radio and television stations to spread the word. We will also email parents, send a text message, and post closure information at www.boiseschools.org and on our Twitter account @BSDEducation. To sign-up for the District’s emergency text messaging service text SUBSCRIBE to the number 68453.
If parents believe it is too dangerous for their children to travel to school they have the option to keep their children home. If school is cancelled, it will be cancelled for the entire District.
