Students at Three Forks Schools had a blast on the final day of 2025 summer programming! We want to send a huge shout out to Lisa Malmquist for organizing our summer programming along with the incredible summer school staff! Our children are so blessed to have such a caring and creative group of teachers!
This message is intended to inform parents and our community about our current transportation challenges and changes. Despite repeated and ongoing efforts to recruit and hire bus drivers, the district has been unsuccessful to date. At this time we have only one driver currently employed and approved for driving bus routes. We will continue to search for additional drivers but unless we are able to hire new drivers, the district will be forced to make significant changes. Parents of affected students will receive a personal call early next week.
All students affected by a route cancellation who live outside the 3 mile radius from school will be given the opportunity to enter into an individual transportation contract with the district.
Individual contracts for parent provided transportation allows the district to reimburse at the state approved rate. Reimbursements will be made for all days a student is in attendance.
If additional driver(s) are secured before the start of school, route plans will change and parents will be again be notified as quickly as possible.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause your family. Rest assured that the district is doing everything possible to recruit drivers with the required CDL. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please let us know.

There will be a carnival for Summer Enrichment on Thursday from 12 pm to 2 pm. Parents are welcomed to come enjoy the carnival with their kids. If any parent would like to bring wrapped cookies, rice, crispy treats, or cupcakes for our cake walk (treat walk) it would be very much appreciated!
The Three Forks District is searching for individuals interested in driving both school bus routes as well as activity bus events. The TFS Board has authorized both a $1500 signing bonus as well as payment of training registration and travel costs for CDL licensing. Please reach out if you are interested or know someone who might wish to apply. Without additional drivers, the district will be forced to reduce route transportation for many of our students. Athletics travel and events will also be affected. Please call 406-285-3224 or visit our website for access to applications @ tfschools.com
The team work is great, the budget is set, and Program of Activities is written. Your Three Forks FFA officers had a great retreat and are ready for the year!
