Three Forks School District

For those elementary parents that are getting a jumpstart to their school supply shopping, grade level supply lists can be found on the District website, via this link https://www.tfschools.com/page/elementary-home-page , then click on class supply lists. Hard copies will be available outside the elementary office once office staff are back at school. Classroom placements will be available to those who have completed online registration in early August by accessing your parent portal account. Again, it is crucial that all new and incoming K students contact the school office or complete online registration to ensure proper staffing. Have a great Wednesday!

Summer Construction Project Update: The district is continuing to work with our General Contractor to finish up final construction projects. These projects are funded through the original Bond initiative with additional funds generated by interest earnings. As shared in Board meetings and discussions, the summer projects include the following: Parking lot resurfacing, sidewalk replacement, carpet replacement and demolition of the old middle school archway. Currently, Neal Street is closed off but construction is expected to be completed in the upcoming weeks, before the start of our 2024-25 school year. The district has been working with the City and our Design Team to address both safety and traffic issues. More information will be shared as the project progresses. The district will also share traffic , parking and drop off patterns with students and parents during our Open House in August. The summer projects are directed by the original bond language which allows only specific projects and cannot be used for district operating expenses including salaries, etc. Please do not hesitate to call us @ 406-285-3224 for questions or concerns.
