Three Forks School District

6th grade orientation will be taking place August 20 from 6-7pm. Students with last name starting with the letters A-M will enter through the high school entrance and go to the auditorium. Students with last name starting with N-Z will enter through the Cafeteria entrance and meet in the Cafeteria. We ask that this be limited to one parent/guardian if possible. This orientation is not mandatory, but may be helpful as we find this can be an exciting transition for many of our wonderful kiddos. Go Wolves!

Cross Country practice for high schoolers only this week. Practice starts at 3:45. Please meet at the school and bring a mask. Practice for junior high starts Monday the 31st.

*Jr high football camp August 24th and 25th from 7-8PM. *Practice will start August 26th after school. *Remember to get physicals and paperwork completed ASAP. Thanks

Good morning Three Forks Family! As we have said since the onset of COVID, things are changing rapidly, impacting decisions, plans, and practices. Evidence of this occurred yesterday as Governor Bullock made an announcement extending his statewide mandate to now include face coverings required for all K-12 students, with the exception of those who have health conditions. With this being said, Three Forks Schools will follow this mandate and require all students K-12 to wear masks in school. Please read the article below for more details. If you do have questions about this update please contact the school at 285-6830. https://helenair.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/bullock-masks-to-be-mandatory-in-k-12-schools/article_677fce7f-121f-5a01-96bf-4792a1411c8f.html

Good morning Three Forks Schools family! To begin, thank you for the patience as we roll out our plan to start 2020-2021. The District appreciates your flexibility and understanding. On Monday the District did send out a form for parents to complete in order to provide some valuable information for the school regarding your plans for this fall. Thank you to those that have taken the time to submit this form. We understand that families are confronted with a difficult decision and sometimes difficult decisions do take time. If you have not completed the form, please do as soon as your family is able to make an educated decision. The sooner the information rolls in, the sooner the District can start building rosters and notifying parents of class placements, etc. The link to the form can be found below. If you need more information or have any questions please call the office @ 285-6830. Thank you again for your cooperation as we start the 2020-2021 school year. #WeAreWolves! https://forms.gle/h36fdWEpqA74ZCxf6
