From AF Schools: School is canceled Monday, March 4, 2024, for all American Falls schools due to current and forecasted conditions for hazardous roads, and the potential for more snow and drifting. This decision was made in consultation with several community partners.. While these conditions are unusual, the decision was made early to prioritize safety and give AFSD families advanced notice of the school closure.

From AF Schools: Families, if you live in an area where the power is out and need a place to go the American Falls High School is open for you to stay at .
