If you would like to enroll your child in Thompson Falls Public Schools as an out of district student and you are living outside of the district's boundaries you are required by Board Policy 3141 to apply for admission on an annual basis. To apply please complete the out of district student application and submit it to the district office. The superintendent will make recommendation to the Board for approval of out of district students. If your child is not going to be recommended for enrollment for the upcoming school year, you will be notified by the district's office prior to the board receiving the recommendations. The Superintendent's decision is final and there is no appeal process. You must submit all required information listed on the application form to be considered. For High School students the board has a 25% cap on out of district enrollments.

Superintendent
At the January 2023 regular meeting of the Board of Trustees for Thompson Falls Public Schools it was decided to start the process of a new Long-Range Plan, also known as a Strategic Plan, for the district.
2023-24 Plan to Reopen School and Contingencies for School Closure Due to COVID outbreak
We are currently in Phase 4.
Phase 4: Reopen All Schools as Normal with In-Class Instruction
In order to return to a healthy educational environment, the district asks that parents do not send their children to school if they are sick or exhibiting any of the symptoms related to COVID-19. The district cannot guarantee the health and safety of anyone but we can all work together to minimize the risks of spreading all infectious diseases.
Reviewed and approved by the board on September 12, 2022, February 6, 2023, September 11, 2023, and February 5, 2024

Heard Around Town: The superintendent has indicated that considering moving to a 4-day week was "not about the money." If that is the case, what are the reasons for considering such a move?
Response: The reason the calendar committee is addressing this again is because it was brought up during the Strategic Planning sessions last year (22-23) by parents and staff members. It was presented to the board last year (22-23) and they said to wait until next year (23-24) as any change in working conditions must be negotiated with unions and the new contract negotiations will be in the 23-24 school year. It will be up to the calendar committee to address the pros/cons and present to the board for the final decision.
