Salmon River Joint School District # 243

Attention Riggins Business owners:

We would like to inform you that the school has ended the partnership with All Around Sports and will be creating our own Athletic Schedule posters for the next school year (2019/2020). This way, 100% of the proceeds will go to Salmon River High School for extracurricular activities instead of a portion, which has been a wish of community members in the past. 

Mr. Ratcliff’s Interactive Media-Graphics class has been working towards attaining industry level Adobe certification as part of a program called Create Idaho. By taking on the athletic poster project, students will gain applicable experience using Adobe programs, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign,  as well as business skills as they work with businesses to create the ads that will be on the poster. 

The students are currently working toward being ready to call soon so if you are interested or would like more information about this project, please leave a comment below or email Brandon Ratcliff at ratcliffb@jsd243.org.  

The 11th grade class attended The Idaho Higher Education Day at the University of Idaho in Moscow on April 20th. The students were able to visit with different state college representatives representing all the state colleges. They walked through the campus and ate lunch in downtown Moscow.

Copied from the IDLA Newsletter;

In 2010, the Savage Academy opened within the halls of Salmon River High School.  At the time, the Academy was one of few digital classrooms throughout the state that was dedicated to offering students online courses during their day.  Since that time, many schools have since incorporated IDLA within their regular schedule but Jan Barany was the individual selected to pioneer this to enhance students’ academic options. Jan was a perfect fit!
As a lifelong learner and valued member of the school community, she is a mentor to students in ways that personally connect her with students.  Whether this is working trigonometry proofs on the board with groups of students or following students in their extracurricular activities, Jan has connected with students in a way that provides a holistic support for individuals.
This support, and the active role she plays in students’ academics, is reflected in Salmon River’s overall success in IDLA classes.  Since their first enrollment, Jan has assisted students in this 1A school in almost 700 IDLA classes.  Of note, her dedication, oversight and assistance provided to students has resulted in a 97% pass rate for all her students enrolled since 2010! As retirement is nearing this year for her, Jan’s dedication to all students will be missed but the efforts she has placed in students will be carried on through their future successes. As retirement is nearing this year for her, Jan’s dedication to all students will be missed but the efforts she has placed in students will be carried on through their future successes.

We are having a State Tournament send-off for the boys today at 9:10. Go Savages!

Re: Statewide Bomb Threat

To Parents/Guardians and Patrons,

In reference to the news reports concerning a “Statewide” bomb threat that was supposedly sent to all school districts and airports in the State. The first time I heard about this was last night when I read it in the news.  The District, at no time, had received a threat of any kind. If we had, I assure you that, we would have taken appropriate action which would have included contacting authorities and communicating to the situation to parents and guardians.
