Alturas Elementary Students Sing About Sun Valley
Alturas Elementary students will perform "A Christmas in Sun Valley" this week.  The concerts are led by Music Teacher Dorinda Rendahl, who wrote an original narration about Sun Valley for this performance.  Rendahl wrote, "Alturas Elementary students have learned about the beautiful place we call home, and what it means to live in a winter resort community.  The students have been hard at work preparing songs for this wonderful season, and they are excited to share their musical gifts with you."

Concert dates are:  Monday, November 30, Tuesday, December 1, Wednesday, December 2, Thursday, December 3.  All concerts begin at 7:00 p.m.  All performances are the same each night but different students and classes take turns performing.

Find Out How Schools Prepare for Emergencies

Wood River Middle School and Hailey Elementary will be involved in a full-scale drill on Friday, December 11.  The purpose of the drill is to practice the safe evacuation of students and parent/student reunification.  The non-violent scenario includes using the Incident Command System and the Standard Response Protocol.  This full-scale exercise will involve parent and staff volunteers, as well as observers from local emergency management, including the Hailey Police and Fire Departments.  Elementary schools do not have students that day due to parent/teacher conferences.  If you are a WRMS parent and would like to volunteer to be part of the drill, please contact WRMS at 578-5030.

Budget Conversations Continue - Stay Involved Through Upcoming Budget Survey

The Blaine County School District Board of Trustees are in the process of creating a five year fiscal plan. Beginning next week, a survey will continue the conversation that started with 24 different staff and public budget meetings held in October during the Financial Plan Listening Tour. In 2-3 years expenses will exceed revenue by $2,750,000 annually if BCSD maintains the current programs and services. The meetings and the survey are the beginning of the conversation with the community in order to create a five year fiscal plan. Please stay tuned to your email, the BCSD Weekly Update, and the website for further information about the survey.
