Welcome to the Back-to-School Bash ~ Meet the Teacher Night! We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our Broncos and cannot wait to fill our hallways, classrooms, and gymnasiums with energy once again.
This summer, our staff has been hard at work behind the scenes. We have been planning, organizing, and waiting for access to spaces as they took on a new look and design. As you visit our buildings tonight, please note that you will have limited access in certain areas due to construction completion timelines and safety restrictions. We kindly ask for your attention to these areas and to the follow our “Meet the Teacher Night” parameters:
Falls Elementary School
Enter at the new addition, it is beautiful! Our greeters will be there to guide you from there. Parking is available on the side streets and in the teacher parking lot.
Falls High School
Enter at the front of FHS or at the pool-side doors.
West End Elementary
Enter at the back of the WEE building.
Don’t forget the many other opportunities available tonight. Join us for:
Meeting your teachers and dropping off school supplies
Finalizing school district paperwork and picking up important forms
Meeting our community members and school partners
Check out the Bronco Booster Burger Booth Fundraiser, Bronco Brew Fundraiser, Kona Ice Fundraiser and the Bronco T-Shirt Bar Fundraiser…all supporting youth athletics, programming, and PBIS.
And, don't forget to pick up your “Bronco Back-to-School Bash Passport.” Complete all the requirements of the pass and turn it into the site main office and your ISD 361 student will receive a “FREE Bronco Student Athletics & Activities Seasonal Pass” delivered to them on their first day of school!
We do ask for your patience and grace as we navigate the final touches on our buildings. Some of the "extraness" will be missing this year, as we still have a few things to complete due to timing and access constraints. Once all construction is complete, ISD 361 will hold a Construction Tour Open House, where our community can see and enjoy the updates they supported through our referendum and all that it will bring to our students' learning and experience for years to come.
We are so excited to see our students, families, community, and staff, and we are looking forward to a successful 26/27 school year. Let's make it a great evening celebrating our Bronco Community…We are Bronco Proud!
In Partnership,
Beth Shermoen, ISD 361 Superintendent
