Salmon River Joint School District # 243

"From Small Beginnings Come Great Things"

School Cancelled Again!

By

January 29, 2018

Parents and Guardians,

The number of student absences at the beginning of the day today was 30% district wide. This is 5% higher than they were last Wednesday at 25% district wide. The number of absences at the Jr/Sr High was 22% and the number of absences at the Elementary was 39%. Due to the number of students out ill and the severity and length of the sicknesses we will NOT be having school the rest of the week (Tuesday through Thursday) to allow the students and staff to get well in hopes of breaking the cycle of re-infecting each other.

School will resume on Monday February 5th. All Jr. High and elementary school activities will be canceled for the week. High School basketball will not be canceled as long as the student athletes remain healthy.

Over the weekend the maintenance staff sprayed 20 gallons of disinfectant throughout the school district. They will continue to do additional disinfecting of the buildings during the flu season.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this time.

Sincerely,

Jim Doramus

Dear Cheer Families,

I wanted to check in with each of you and keep you in the loop for the upcoming weeks of cheerleading. I first want to say how much I have appreciated your Cheerleaders’ effort and dedication. We have improved immensely and I am excited to see our dance come together. Unfortunately, we will not be performing that dance at the girl’s senior night. Our middle school students have been working diligently to create future city models for the state competition in Boise and have asked for my assistance at the competition. We have uniforms on the way, we hope to have our shirts right before the game this Friday, and the skirts will not be here until the following week. If your cheerleader does not have their uniform before the game, please send them in a yellow shirt and blue shorts/pants. The schedule below should be a final schedule for the remaining season. Thank you for understanding and sending your cheerleaders to us! We ask that your cheerleader has a quick snack prior to the game. THERE WILL BE NO EATING IN UNIFORMS!

Practice will be on Thursdays that we are not at games. 1-12-18- Girls and Boys H.S Basketball- 6:20-7:50 2-2-18- Boys Senior Night- 6:20-7:50 2-10-18- Elementary Basketball 5/6th Grade Boys 1-2:30 2-14-18- M.S Basketball 4:30-5:45 2-20-18 M.S Basketball 4:30-5:45 3-9-18 M.S Basketball 4:30-5:45 3-13-18 M.S Basketball 4:30-5:45 Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
