The Board of Trustees is holding a public hearing to gather input on D91’s Reopening Plan from 5:30 to 7 pm on Aug. 12 in the Compass Academy auditorium. The public hearing will be followed by a regular board meeting at 7 p.m. where the board is expected to make final decisions about how D91 will start school. Both meetings will be streamed. Those who would like to provide input can do so online using this form or in person at the public hearing. Online comments must be submitted by 4:30 pm Aug. 11. Those who want to provide input in person must complete and turn in a yellow patron input form when they arrive. Comments will be limited to three minutes. In accordance with guidance from local health officials those attending the meeting must wear masks and practice social distancing. D91’s Getting Back to School Plan was developed with input from parents, patrons, teachers and staff and includes three phases: Green, Yellow & Read. Getting Back to School plan. (Spanish). Overview of the Plan. (Spanish)

Parents can now review, verify and update student information online instead of doing it via the paper forms that many D91 schools send home during spring registration or at the beginning of each school year. If you have a PowerSchool Unified Classroom account, you can easily review and update information using this link:  https://accounts.powerschool.com/u/welcome. (Use this form only if your student is currently enrolled in a District 91 School.) Updating student information is critical this year so D91 has the right contact information to send updates, assign Chromebooks and more. If you do not have a PowerSchool Account, contact your child’s school after Aug. 5 to set one up. Setting up a PowerSchool Unified Classroom account is important so parents can track class schedules, grades, absences, progress toward graduation, etc. Once you are in the Parent Account application and have clicked on the registration icon, you can change the language in the upper right-hand corner from English to Spanish if needed.

If you are new to the district, and haven’t registered for the upcoming school year, the easiest thing to do is to register and upload documents online. If you prefer to register in person,  D91’s elementary schools will be open for registration Aug. 11-14. If you visit a school, please wear a mask and practice social distancing. Office hours at elementary schools vary so check with your neighborhood school. Most schools have school supply lists posted on their websites under the Parent Tab.

If you are new to the district, and haven’t registered for the upcoming school year, the easiest thing to do is to register and upload documents online and then a counselor will get in touch to set up a class schedule. If you would prefer to register in person, D91’s middle schools will be open for registration Aug. 10-14 from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm. New students will register Aug. 10; 8^th graders on Aug. 11; 7^th graders on Aug. 12; and make-up registration is on Aug. 13. Current students can check their schedules and pay their fees online. If you do visit school, please wear a mask and practice social distancing.

Taylorview Parent Letter for Registration

If you are new to the district, and haven’t registered for the upcoming school year, the easiest thing to do is to register and upload documents online and then schedule an appointment with a counselor to set up a class schedule. The counseling offices at  Skyline and Idaho Falls high schools will be open for appointments 8:15 am to 3 pm on  Aug. 10-14 and for walk -ins Aug. 20-21. Current students can check their schedules and pay their fees online, but if students want to pay fees and get their yearbook photos taken in person, seniors go Aug. 17; juniors and sophomores go Aug. 18 and freshmen go Aug. 19. Compass Academy will mail packets Aug. 7, and then students can check schedules online. If you do visit a school, please wear a face covering and practice social distancing.

High school students can now appeal to have Pass/P grades for third trimester classes completed during the spring 2020 school closure changed to letter grades. Students who want to make an appeal must have successfully completed the end-of-course assessment for the class and earned a P. They must also complete the officials appeals form. Appeals can be submitted over the summer, but they won’t be reviewed until school staff return in the fall. The deadline to file an appeal is Jan. 8, 2021, but we recommend seniors file their requests by Oct. 1, 2020 so they can be processed in time for fall early decisions, etc. We encourage students to talk to their parents, teachers, counselors and college admissions offices to determine whether changing a P to a letter grade will benefit them.
