Dear Boise School District Families, Students, Staff, and Community Members,

Boise School District invites you to share your feedback on proposed school schedule changes beginning in the 2027–2028 school year. Under the proposal, secondary students would start and end school later, while elementary students would start and end earlier. 

We recognize that these changes could affect families in different ways. Please review the current and proposed schedules, background information, and potential benefits and challenges included in the survey, then let us know whether you support the proposal.

Results will be shared with the Board of Trustees during its December or January Board meeting and will help inform its final decision. No final decision has been made.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and helping the Board consider the needs of our students, families, and community.

Sincerely,

Boise School District Administration

Timberline High School is partnering with Clear SkiesTherapy Center to provide on-campus counseling for students during the school day.

This program is especially designed for students who could benefit from regular counseling but face barriers such as scheduling, transportation, or access to services outside of school.

A Clear Skies therapist will meet with students at school and is able to accept many insurance plans.

If you think your student may benefit from this support or if you have questions, please reach out to your student’s counselor or Katy Metzger, Timberline Social Worker:

Phone: 208-900-7255

The Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation invites students in grades 9-12 and their families/teachers to attend a virtual information session about the ACE Mentorship Program during Fall break!

ACE is a free after-school program that helps students explore careers in architecture, construction, engineering, and many other skilled trades. Beginning in January, students meet once a week and work in teams on a mock construction project. Along the way, they learn how different trades work together to take a project from an idea to a finished building.

The program is a great way to learn about career options, meet industry professionals, and gain hands-on experience. Over the past four years, ACE has also awarded nearly $100,000 in scholarships to participating students.

A guest speaker from ACE will provide an overview of the program and answer questions during the session.

We hope you can join us!
