Due to the forecast of blowing and drifting snow expected on Monday, Feb. 24, we want to keep everyone informed of our emergency plans. We have spoken with the Teton County Road Department. If they can, they will get the plows out and clear the bus routes. The difficulty for them is that almost every road north and east of Fairfield is part of a bus route. They have done a great job for us so far this year, but they can't control the weather, either. If they can't get the roads plowed, bus routes will be canceled for Monday to ensure the safety of our drivers and students. We advise parents and guardians to make alternative arrangements for transportation. If you absolutely cannot get to school, please contact the office to let us know.
If we end up canceling bus routes, we will update this page and send out another mass text as soon as we make the decision. If you don't hear from us, it's business as usual on Monday.
On Tuesday, February 25, we will be administering the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) to all students in grades 7-12. We have done this for several years now, and it provides the school and the state with valuable data to help support our students. There is an informational letter that will be sent home with students that includes an optional "opt-out" form. All students will take the survey unless we have a signed copy of the letter. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Wilson or Mrs. Tacke.

We are taking a group of elementary and JH students to the Teton County Spelling Bee in Power today. If the spelling bee runs long, we may need to delay bus routes slightly so students attending can still ride the bus home.
We are going to run our bus routes as much of our bus routes as possible this morning. Please be patient as our drivers will likely be later than their regular schedule. If you feel your road is unsafe or unpassable, please notify your driver to help us keep everyone safe. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Basketball Update: We are still on for our Senior night games against Rocky Boy tonight (Friday). On Saturday, we were able to add a C squad boys' game. That game will start at 11:30, and the rest of the games will roll after that one finishes. We will update here if anything changes.
We will still be running our bus routes as close to normal as possible today. Please be patient as our drivers may be a little behind their regular schedule. If you feel your road is unsafe or unpassable, please notify your driver to help us keep everyone safe. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The JV Girls' Basketball game vs Choteau that was originally scheduled for 1/31 has been rescheduled to Monday, February 10th at 4:00.
Announcement

MT INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL TAX CREDIT
The MT portal for the MT Innovative Educational Tax Credit opens next Wednesday, January 15th at 10am. The Fairfield School District is registered and able to accept donations that result in a dollar for dollar MT State Tax Credit, to be applied to your 2025 taxes.
The amount available statewide has increased to 6million and the opportunity will end when that amount is reached collectively. You do not need to live in Fairfield, just a desire for your donation to go directly to the Fairfield school instead of state income tax.
We were able to register over 10 local Tax Credits last January and are prepared to do more this year.
The Fairfield School District has received and are ready to file several donations already. There is a limited amount of funding, but if you would like us to try to register a donation, please call the school right away to provide some basic information and the amount.

Denise Grant - School Business Clerk
