IDAHO'S EMPOWERING PARENTS GRANTS.
We are excited to pass along a great opportunity for families with school-aged children. Idaho's Empowering Parents grant application is now open! This program provides eligible families with grant funds to use towards education services and devices for their K-12 children in an effort to recover learning loss as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Click on the link below for more information.

SCHOOL MENUS.
We have received a lot of requests to add the monthly lunch menus to the website. These have now been added to the top of the Child Nutrition page. From the District homepage (or from any school homepage), click on the "Child Nutrition" button below the photo gallery. The different menu options will be listed near the top of the page (see highlighted area on the image). The daily menus (and even the monthly menus) can also be accessed using the Fremont County Schools 215 app.


Congratulations to North Fremont's Cross Country team! Corbin Johnston placed 1st at the Tiger-Grizz meet and Zack Johnston came in 4th place in the boys division. The boys team placed 4th in the 3A-1A division.

NEW WEBSITE!
The new website for Fremont County Joint School District #215 is live! Although the site is not completely finished and will be a work in progress for the next few months, we wanted to get it out as quickly as possible. The address is still www.sd215.net. Each of the schools can be accessed through the "Schools" menu in the upper right corner of the district home page. At the current time, the Board of Trustees and Child Nutrition links are also ready to go, and the Live Feed, News, and Events are all functional. Many of the others tabs are still under construction. You may also access information for your preferred schools and district through a new app available in the Apple and Google Play stores (search for Fremont County Schools 215). More information on the app and the new features will be coming in the next week or so. Thank you for your patience and your suggestions for improving communication. We will continue to work to make this better.
