Good morning Three Forks Schools family!
To begin, thank you for the patience as we roll out our plan to start 2020-2021. The District appreciates your flexibility and understanding.
On Monday the District did send out a form for parents to complete in order to provide some valuable information for the school regarding your plans for this fall. Thank you to those that have taken the time to submit this form. We understand that families are confronted with a difficult decision and sometimes difficult decisions do take time.
If you have not completed the form, please do as soon as your family is able to make an educated decision. The sooner the information rolls in, the sooner the District can start building rosters and notifying parents of class placements, etc.
The link to the form can be found below. If you need more information or have any questions please call the office @ 285-6830. Thank you again for your cooperation as we start the 2020-2021 school year.

*For those 6-12 families that are picking up hard copy “packets” for distance learning, here is the schedule for Friday’s pickup,as well as homework drop off. Student’s please label all homework with the teacher's name and class. Out of safety concerns for our school staff as well as the community we will be limiting the group size as well as access to the building. We will have staff available to assist with this process outside the High School entrance doors and we are asking you to remain in your vehicle and continue pulling forward as needed. If you are unable to pick up materials during this time please call 285-3224 ext 218 or email Greg Heys at gheys@threeforks.k12.mt.us for more assistance.
*This will be our last packet pick-up date. Some teachers are attempting to provide a little more work and information for the three week time frame and still give students ample opportunity to hand in any late or missing work.
*Communication is key at this time with your students. Please talk to them about what classes they need hardcopies.
*We are also double checking that all household information and family contact information is in Infinite Campus correctly and up to date. You may anticipate a phone call from the school re-confirming that our data is correct.

Congratulations to the following MS/HS students who were nominated for the 3rd Quarter's Student of the Quarter!
HS: Anthony Deriana, Tayla Moeykens, Jayden Woodland, Macey Combs, Katie Kotter, Chris Fullerton, Sam Schade, Hannah Delaittre, Bailey Partain, Kalli Miller
MS: Jace Wiseman, Sawyer Marx, Cherish Allen, Abbey Tallman, Trevor Davis, Claire Cutler, Alyssa Golding, Sarah Raffety, Lee Anna Gonsalves
Winners: Macey Combs and Trevor Davis
Teachers had this to say about Macey: Macey has been an unbelievable part of our school for many years, but I think she often gets overlooked for the things she routinely does. Whether it be the morning announcements everyday, her role as student body president, announcing at the assemblies or even helping with the instagram scavenger hunts for the “coin”, Macey plays a large role in the day to day activities at Three Forks. Through all of this, she does get some recognition, but often I hear students just whine and complain about student council not doing this or student council not doing that, well Macey, I say Thank You for all you do! You stepped up and took on this role and I think you do a fantastic job.
Teachers had this to say about Trevor: Trevor is a very diligent and hardworking student who really strives to do well. I appreciate his positive attitude, coming into class every day ready to go and working steadily until the bell rings. Thank you, Trevor!
*Student's who were nominated are welcome to come get there certificate from the main office and learn what nice things teachers are saying about you!

At times like this it is crucial that we have up-to-date information for effective communication.

TFSD March School Board Meeting
The regularly scheduled school board meeting for Three Forks schools. will still take place, however it will be closed to the public. We will live stream the meeting on the school's Facebook page for those wanting to watch.
Due to Governor Bullock’s recent declaration of statewide school closure , the emergency school board meeting for Three Forks Schools is cancelled.
Gov. Steve Bullock orders two week closure of public K-12 schools
Three Forks Schools will be closed for two weeks as declared by the governor.
As of Monday, March 16, Three Forks School District will continue to operate on the regular school schedule. All school extracurricular activities (school-based activities that take place before or after school hours) will continue until advised otherwise. The District understands the concerns of the COVID-19 virus and the cases that are being confirmed in Montana. With this in mind the TF Board of Trustees will be meeting Monday morning at 7:30 a.m. to discuss the possibility of school closures and educational planning if in fact schools are closed. The District may also get notification from the Gallatin County Health Department or the Governor of forced closures. If and when this does occur, parents and staff will be notified.
With school continuing tomorrow, Monday, March 16th, the District does want to take preventative precautions. We are urging families to make proactive decisions on sending students to school. If your child or a family member is sick, please keep your child at home and notify the office of your intentions. If your child has a complicated illness or immune deficiency that puts them at risk, we encourage you to keep them at home. We know that this situation is very fluid, with updates hourly. As the District gains any information that may impact staff or students of TFS, this will be shared with all stakeholders.
Thank you

We were greeted this morning with a ceiling tile destroyed and another leak from the aging heating system in the elementary school. The piping from the boiler system is the original piping (1974), which is showing its age, causing leaks in each of the last 3 years. Did you know that approximately $16 million dollars from the upcoming bond will go towards fixing this issue?

Why do we NEED this building bond?
We have 3 schools within our campus that all have different needs. The focus of this project from the beginning has revolved around three components; safety, space, and infrastructure. Each of these components were taken into consideration for each individual school (elem., MS, and HS).
This post will focus on space.
-The current TF campus was not built to accommodate the increasing student population of approximately 740 students (avg. rate of 6% each year). This results in overcrowded classrooms throughout the K-12 District, negatively impacting the educational experience.
-The existing blueprint for the HS is not designed for the current student population, resulting in overcrowded and unsafe hallways during peak traffic times.
-The District campus contains three different schools (elem, MS, HS) that are forced to share spaces, resulting in course offerings being cut and less educational opportunities for K-12 students.
-To temporarily address the lack of space, portable classrooms will be used. The result is an inadequate space/environment for teaching and learning.
To learn more please check out the District website http://threeforksmt.apptegy.us/o/three-forks-schools.
If you have questions you can contact the school office at 285-6830, or by emailing Superintendent Jeff Elliott at jelliott@threeforks.k12.mt.us

The Speech & Drama team competed at the divisional tournament on Saturday, placing as champion in Speech with a score of 131-129, remaining undefeated in Class B Speech for the season going into the state tournament, by defeating the team who holds a 35 state championship streak. The team qualified 36 students for the state tournament, which is the most that Three Forks has qualified in the past 10 years. Kalli Miller & Ally Kamps won individual championships. Finn Hanson, Kevin Richards, Lexi Welch, and Hannah Rumelhart placed as runners-up. Also placing in the top four were Dean Buchholz, Aden Lehr, Hannah Wilson, Grace Donnelly, Bailey Partain, Dru Bolender, Lilly Lindquist, Michael Boyd, and Ethan Heagar.
You’re invited! If you’ve been wondering why we are looking to renovate and improve our schools, we invite you to come to the next Public Facilities Committee Meeting.

Three Forks School District has put together a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) directed towards the upcoming spring bond election. We will share the answers to these questions in the weeks leading up to the May 5th election date. If clarification is needed for any of these postings, please feel free to reach out to the District Office @ 285-6830.
*Why does the Three Forks School District NEED this building bond?
We have 3 schools within our campus that all have different needs. The focus of this project from the beginning has revolved around three components; safety, space, and infrastructure. Each of these components were taken into consideration for each individual school (elem., MS, and HS).
Below is a listing of safety items that would be addressed through the passing of the spring bond.
-The electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems are outdated and failing throughout many portions of the campus.
-Fire suppression systems do NOT exist throughout the entire campus, thus creating a major safety concern that needs to be addressed.
-Three Forks High School was built in 1952 and is currently obsolete, requiring desperate improvements.
-To improve security and keep our students and staff safe, campus entrances would be reconfigured so that all traffic will funnel through the controlled offices during the school day.
-The school bus loading/unloading zone will be relocated to a single (bus-only) lane to the north of campus. This will be a controlled, safe area for students to board/un-board buses.
-The parent drop off area for elementary students will be relocated to the NE corner of campus, allowing for a more controlled area, while also reducing the congestion on East Neal. This would also allow for increased safety for students to walk to the playground or cafeteria prior to the start of school.
-The School Board of Trustees has voted to purchase/lease portable classrooms that will be located outside of the main buildings. With these classrooms being outside of the main campus buildings, increased safety concerns do arise.
