D91 is pleased to announce we are once again increasing the number of spectators allowed at middle school and high school sporting events. D91 is implementing today’s new guidance on gatherings and spectators developed by the Governor’s office and the office of the State Board of Education as best we can while still complying with the Eastern Idaho Board of Health’s order currently in place in Bonneville County.
The Board of Health is expected to meet on Monday to review that order. If it changes, D91 will implement that new guidance. Until the Board of Health’s order is rescinded, the capacity at IFHS’ gymnasium will be about 300 spectators while the capacity at SHS’ capacity will be about 400 spectators.

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has issued new guidance on quarantine periods for K-12 students and staff who have been in close contact with someone at school who has tested positive for COVID-19. Idaho Falls School District 91 plans to implement this new guidance beginning today, Monday, Jan. 11.  If the person who tests positive and the person in close contact were both wearing masks that cover their nose and mouth, the close contact does not need to isolate for 10 days as previously directed. They can continue to attend in-person classes, but should monitor themselves closely for COVID-19 symptoms. Learn more.

The directors of the Idaho Falls District musical have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 District Musical. This difficult decision was made after considering many factors such as current COVID restrictions limiting gatherings and the amount of time needed to produce a musical with more than 150 people, and we have determined it is not feasible to conduct a production of this magnitude at this time. We know our students, faculty, and patrons look forward to this special event every year. Plans are already being made for a 2022 musical, which will be the 40th anniversary of the District Musical. We are hoping to make that musical our biggest one ever.

Thank you for your interest and understanding and continued support of the District Musical.
