Two hour late start in Belle Fourche schools today, Monday, March 15th
Message going out to all Parents all-call on 2/10/21 at 5:15 p.m.:
Due to forecasted extreme cold temperatures for the rest of the week, all education in the Belle Fourche School District will be done virtually on Thursday, February 11th. That means your classes will be done at home, virtually, not in the school buildings.
Computers were sent home with all students. Your student’s teacher will be in contact with you at the Elementary level. This is considered a day of learning and students will need to complete tasks assigned by their teacher, attendance will be taken and school starts virtually at the regular school times.
All activities, practices and after-school programs are cancelled for Thursday. Intersession is cancelled for Friday. There will be no meals served.
There will be High School activities' practices on Friday. Coaches will notify their athletes of the time.
Also, remember there is no school on Monday, February 15th, for President's Day.
Thank you and stay warm.
Remember, if your child will not be in school on these days face to face learning, you must pre-order free breakfast and lunch sack meals to be picked up on Thursday, December 17th and/or Friday, December 18th by Tuesday, December 15th.
