IFHS and SHS have kicked off the annual Souper Bowl canned food drive, which continues through Feb. 5. Working together, the schools collected more than 100,000 cans of food last year and they're hoping to do the same thing this year. If you can help, please send a donation with your child to school or drop off cans or non-perishable items at IFHS or SHS. We are D91PROUD of this annual project, which now accounts for a third of the annual donations to the Community Food Basket. 

The Eastern Idaho Board of Health has changed the health order regarding gatherings in Bonneville County, which means even more spectators will be able to attend sporting events in Idaho Falls School District 91.  D91 now will follow the guidance developed last week by the Governor’s office and the office of the State Board of Education. Under the new athletics plan, our gymnasiums will be able to accommodate up to 40% of capacity with health and safety measures. Under the new guidance, the capacity of IFHS’ gymnasium will be 970 spectators. SHS’ gymnasium will have a capacity of up to 1,152. Please do your part in helping our school staff implement the new guidance by following all the health and safety measure when you attend a sporting event in D91.

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has issued new guidance on quarantine periods for K-12 students and staff who have been in close contact with someone at school who has tested positive for COVID-19. Idaho Falls School District 91 plans to implement this new guidance beginning today, Monday, Jan. 11.  If the person who tests positive and the person in close contact were both wearing masks that cover their nose and mouth, the close contact does not need to isolate for 10 days as previously directed. They can continue to attend in-person classes, but should monitor themselves closely for COVID-19 symptoms. Learn more.

The directors of the Idaho Falls District musical have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 District Musical. This difficult decision was made after considering many factors such as current COVID restrictions limiting gatherings and the amount of time needed to produce a musical with more than 150 people, and we have determined it is not feasible to conduct a production of this magnitude at this time. We know our students, faculty, and patrons look forward to this special event every year. Plans are already being made for a 2022 musical, which will be the 40th anniversary of the District Musical. We are hoping to make that musical our biggest one ever.

Thank you for your interest and understanding and continued support of the District Musical.
