Now that the first quarter of 2020 - 2021 and parent-teacher conferences have concluded, it is time to look forward. To support a smoother transition for class and teacher assignments, we have already begun planning for the start of 2nd semester.

If your student is staying in their current school, no action is required.

To ensure as seamless a transition as possible, the district has set a deadline of November 6, 2020 for families to indicate if they plan to move from Boise Online School to Riverside or from Riverside to Boise Online School for the second semester. To ensure a stable educational environment for both students and teachers, students will remain enrolled in either Boise Online School or their neighborhood school for the full semester.

Please notify us by email at cyndi.ashton@boiseschools.org by Friday, November 6, 2020 if you are requesting a change of placement for Second Semester (January 11, 2021- May 27, 2021).
