The Board of Trustees has approved D91’s Getting Back to School plan. (Spanish). Overview of the Plan. (Spanish). The plan was developed after weeks of work and input from parents, staff and health officials, as well as guidance from the CDC, state and local health officials and other organizations. D91’s hope is to reopen schools with in-person classes in the fall, but the plan includes Green, Yellow and Red Phases, and the phases will determined by the local conditions and the risk level in Bonneville County as determined by Eastern Idaho Public Health. We are working on online options for families who are not comfortable returning to school. Watch for more information on that in the coming weeks. Eastern Idaho Public Health supports D91’s Plan.

More Updates

Parents can now review, verify and update student information online instead of doing it via the paper forms that many D91 schools send home during spring registration or at the beginning of each school year. If you have a PowerSchool Unified Classroom account, you can easily review and update information using this link:  https://accounts.powerschool.com/u/welcome. (Use this form only if your student is currently enrolled in a District 91 School.) Updating student information is critical this year so D91 has the right contact information to send updates, assign Chromebooks and more. If you do not have a PowerSchool Account, contact your child’s school after Aug. 5 to set one up. Setting up a PowerSchool Unified Classroom account is important so parents can track class schedules, grades, absences, progress toward graduation, etc. Once you are in the Parent Account application and have clicked on the registration icon, you can change the language in the upper right-hand corner from English to Spanish if needed.

Office hours at elementary schools vary so check with your neighborhood school. Most schools have school supply lists posted on their websites under the Parent Tab.

High school students can now appeal to have Pass/P grades for third trimester classes completed during the spring 2020 school closure changed to letter grades. Students who want to make an appeal must have successfully completed the end-of-course assessment for the class and earned a P. They must also complete the officials appeals form. Appeals can be submitted over the summer, but they won’t be reviewed until school staff return in the fall. The deadline to file an appeal is Jan. 8, 2021, but we recommend seniors file their requests by Oct. 1, 2020 so they can be processed in time for fall early decisions, etc. We encourage students to talk to their parents, teachers, counselors and college admissions offices to determine whether changing a P to a letter grade will benefit them.
