"From Small Beginnings Come Great Things"

Levy Ballot

By

Levy Ballot Letter

Dear Staff, Parents, and Community Members,

      The district was recently notified that a clerical error has occurred on the Salmon River Joint School District’s supplemental levy ballot. The law prohibits any changes to the ballot once the due date has passed. Therefore, the Salmon River Joint School Board of Trustees will be holding a special board meeting to discuss options, including running the levy election at a later date. An agenda with the date and time of the special meeting will be posted as soon as possible. 

Sincerely,

Trisha Simonson

SRHS Parent Survey

By

March 10, 2022

Dear Parent/Guardian,

One of the pieces of Idaho’s new school accountability system is a parent survey. This survey asks for your input on several topics to help measure how our schools are doing in meeting your needs.

To access the survey, visit https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/184180/p31609

Then pick your student’s school from the drop-down menu. The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete and your responses are anonymous. You can submit your survey until April 1, 2022.

We will use these survey responses to identify opportunities to maximize satisfaction, engagement, and communication. Additionally, the state will report the results and the number of responses on Idaho’s new school report card (https://idahoschools.org/).

Thank you for participating in the survey. If you have any questions, please contact your school’s Principal.

Yours in learning,

Kyle Ewing

Dear Parents, Staff, and Community Members:

We have recently been notified that one or more students and/or staff members in Riggins Elementary have tested positive for Strep Throat. We will continue to monitor the health of our students, staff, and visitors. The safety and health of our students and staff are the priority. 

Strep throat is a bacterial infection that can make your throat feel sore and scratchy. Strep throat accounts for only a small portion of sore throats. If untreated, strep throat can cause complications, such as kidney inflammation or rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever can lead to painful and inflamed joints, a specific type of rash, or heart valve damage.

Strep throat is most common in children, but it affects people of all ages. If you or your child has signs or symptoms of strep throat, see your doctor for prompt testing and treatment.

Signs and symptoms of strep throat can include:

  • Throat pain that usually comes on quickly
  • Painful swallowing
  • Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus
  • Tiny red spots on the area at the back of the roof of the mouth (soft or hard palate)
  • Swollen, tender lymph nodes in your neck
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Rash
  • Nausea or vomiting, especially in younger children
  • Body aches
