Welcome to Clark Fork Jr./Sr. High School!
Seasons Change Fast
Dear Families,
As we transition from the winter months into the early days of spring, we reflect on what has been an exciting and successful fall sports season. Our athletes worked hard, demonstrated incredible teamwork, and achieved success both on and off the field. From thrilling victories to personal bests, our students truly showcased the dedication and spirit that make our school and community proud. The spring athletic season is now upon us and thank goodness the single digit temps and snow decided to leave our elevation just in time. Our mild weather is providing the perfect backdrop for our teams to build momentum in the search for state level competition. Speaking of perfect backdrop, I think that we can all agree that those snowcapped mountains looking down upon our facility are breathtaking.
As we move forward toward the completion of the school year, I’d like to take a moment to address the importance of consistent school attendance. While we have traditionally enjoyed attendance rates of 97-98%, we’ve seen a drop to around 93-94%. With only three months left in the school year, it's critical that students attend school regularly to finish strong. Attendance directly impacts learning and academic performance, and we want to ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed. This is a time to focus on staying engaged, keeping grades up, and maintaining a level of commitment to education. Together, we can make sure that these final months are a success.
In addition to staying on top of attendance, we also encourage students to use their time wisely in these final months as testing season begins. As we approach end-of-year assessments, such as ISAT's, now is the perfect time to focus on effective study habits and time management. These next few weeks are critical for review, preparation, and refining skills. Encourage your child to stay organized, prioritize their assignments, and seek help when needed. Preparing for testing season requires dedication, and with a focused approach, our students can confidently and successfully show what they know.
Thank you for your continued support and for encouraging your child to stay focused as we finish out the school year strong. Let’s continue working together to make this a memorable and successful spring.
Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to your student’s education.
We appreciate you.
Sincerely, Phil Kemink
