🗓 Important Dates

💡 Reminders

Wellness Break

We have a wellness break daily to get the students and staff moving, give them a brain break, and take in some fresh air. As a reminder, this takes place from 9:45-9:55, and we will be outside. We ask that students be prepared for Idaho weather.

Interim ISAT's

Our first round of interim ISATs will take place soon. This allows our students and teachers to practice the ISAT process and provides a baseline to guide our teachers' instruction throughout the year. Please be on the lookout for upcoming dates.

Free and Reduced Lunch

Dear Parents & Guardians,

Declo Junior High School is a Title 1 school. This designation is a federally funded program that provides salaries for our paraeducators. Much of our funding comes from our Free & Reduced Lunch application qualifiers. Our school is below the required percentage to meet our current staffing levels.

As a school, we are asking that you please consider filling out the enclosed F&R application. There is only one form needed per family. We ask that all completed forms be sent to the office by November 21st.

Thank you for your time and effort to help our school.

Parent Drop Off

Hello Families,

Due to the growth that Declo Jr High has experienced, we are updating our parent drop-off and pickup expectations. We have added staff to our school, and we ask that you please not use the staff parking as we need all designated parking spaces. If you choose to bring your child, we ask that you use the updated designated areas and procedures for the safety of all students.

Option 1- Use the Gym parking lot to drop off/pick up (parents stay in the car)

Guardians may drop off students in the gym parking lot. We ask that you pull into the gym parking lot and use this area for all drop-offs from the hours of 7:10-8:05 AM. All students will need to enter through the main doors. All end-of-the-day pickups will also need to occur in the gym parking lot from the hours of 3:35-3:45 PM.

Option 2- Park and Enter

Guardians entering the building (volunteering, assisting students with projects, needing to visit the office, etc.) may park on the south side in the gym parking spots (parking closest to the gym). All parents and guests must enter the front office and sign in with the office staff.
