Middle School Attendance Area Change
|
|
School attendance areas for middle school students have been slightly modified from previous years. Since Chief Joseph Middle School will be moving to a new location in the fall of 2008, the attendance area line was changed to Main Street. Students living south of Main Street will attend Sacajawea Middle School. Students living on the north side of Main Street will attend Chief Joseph Middle School. This will affect middle schoolers new to the district and incoming 6th graders. All other students will be “grandfathered” in their current school. If you would like to request a transfer to your attendance area school, please complete a Request for Transfer form. These will be processed later in the spring.
