Due to the severe temperatures forecasted in American Falls and surrounding areas, all schools within the American Falls School District will be closed on Tuesday, January 31st. The National Weather Service has extended a severe weather alert, with a wind chill warning in effect through 10AM on Tuesday. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of students during early morning pickup and drop-off times, as well as those who walk or wait at bus stops, the decision was made to close schools. The weather is expected to improve on Wednesday, so please dress warm and plan on attending school
Attention parents and guardians: Boys basketball, Cheer, Sources of Strength and Drama pictures are this Thursday, January 26th. Make sure your student has everything they need for the pictures.
