Interim ISAT's for 11th Grade

🗣️ Parent Input Form

We need your help gathering important feedback. This year, we’re collecting input through a quick online form—no paper copies needed. However, if you prefer a paper version, you can still click the link, print it, and drop it off at the school.

Our goal is to receive at least one form for each teacher. Your feedback truly matters and helps us improve and celebrate the great work happening in our classrooms.

Please click the link below and complete the form.

School District App

This is used for all communication related to school closures, late buses, and all things school related. This is the app that will be used by teachers to share announcements, message specific people or groups, and communicate the important elements of their classes. Please download the app today.

🎒School Attendance

Cassia County Joint School District No. 151 is committed to supporting the academic and personal success of every student. Consistent attendance is essential for learning, earning course credit, and staying on track to earn a diploma. Idaho law requires school attendance for students ages 7–16.

At Declo High School, students must attend 90% of school days each semester to earn credit, which means no more than 8 absences in a daily class. Students who exceed this limit may lose credit unless there are documented extenuating circumstances.

To help students stay on track, DHS offers opportunities to make up missed time through Friday School or prearranged time with teachers before or after school. For each absence beyond the limit, one hour of make-up time is required.

Being on time matters, too. We are seeing a high number of tardies. Arriving on time helps students hear directions and avoid missing instruction. Tardies 4–7 result in lunch detention for each tardy. The 8th tardy and every tardy beyond that result in an assigned Friday School. Please help your student arrive on time to every class.

Thank you for helping your student attend regularly, arrive on time, and stay on track toward graduation.
