PTA is looking for the following positions for 2023-2024 year:
We are excited to announce Birds of Prey Northwest is coming to visit our 3rd-5th graders this April!
Send a check, cash or money order for $17.95 (this includes tax) with your child or bring it to office. Please designate which book/s you are ordering. If your child is in K-2, you can still order a book. Thank you!
Parents, we are looking for your feedback! Please read below for more information, and click on the link to take the state engagement survey.
Idaho’s custom parent survey is an important part of our focus on serving and engaging parents in our schools’ work. This survey gives you the chance to tell us how schools are doing in meeting your needs.
We will use these survey responses to find ways to maximize satisfaction, engagement, and communication. Additionally, the state will report the results and the number of responses on Idaho’s school report card https://idahoschools.org/
Thank you in advance for participating in this survey.
Kindergarteners and first graders celebrate 100 days of learning!

Looking for STEM night (5/18) donations. We'd love to collect the items below. Please take a look around your home and see if you have any of these materials. We will collect at the office. Thank you!
- Cardboard tubes from paper towels or wrapping paper
- Straws (bendable)

Levy Information
Time to request your absentee ballot
If you are a registered voter and would like an absentee ballot for the March 14 election, now is the time to request your ballot.
It's fast and easy! Just visit this link to submit your 2023 request. Or, you may use the attached request form.
Your absentee ballot will be mailed to you starting the week of Feb. 13. That means you can vote on our two school funding levies less than two weeks from today!
The final day to request an absentee ballot for the upcoming school levy election is March 3. Your request must be received by the county elections office by 5 p.m. that day.
Don't forget: A new absentee ballot request must be made each calendar year. If you voted by absentee ballot last year, you still need to make a new request to vote by absentee ballot this year.
