BCSD announces school closure information

With the winter months at hand, Boundary County School District are letting area residents know the procedure for emergency school closure announcements.

Emergency school closures will be announced on KREM (Channel 2), KXLY (Channel 4), and KHQ (Channel 6). Closure information will also be on the district’s emergency telephone line, 208-267-8934; posted on the district’s website, bcsd101.com, and through local media. BCSD officials will also notify parents, guardians, and staff of any school emergency or closures through Swift Notifications (robo calls).

“Please use these sources to learn about closure information,” BCSD Superintendent Jan Bayer said. “Also, remember inclement weather and winter road conditions may cause buses to be less punctual, so please dress your children accordingly to meet these conditions.”

The last day of school before Christmas break is Thursday, Dec. 21 and is a full day. Christmas vacation will begin Monday, Dec. 25-31, 2023, and Jan. 1-4, 2024. School will resume Monday, Jan. 8, 2024.
