Three Forks School District

Attention TFS parents: Yesterday there was a glitch in our food service platform that resulted in students being charged for their meals. There is no charge for lunch services and the incorrect charges will be corrected. Thank you for your patience as we work through things.

We hope to see you there! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-L60CDa0Q4jFTQqj80_oyqqKGy5DLRLAGWmHMmkA6_w/edit?usp=sharing

Performances will take place Friday at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Admission will be $10 per adult and $5 per student (grade 5 and younger).
