SCSD#1 Staff and Families -

Tongue River Schools

The alert status for the town of Dayton has been moved back from "Set" to "Ready" as of 1:40 p.m. today (Oct. 7). After speaking with emergency personnel, we can now proceed with in person activities this afternoon and return to school in person at all schools in Tongue River (except for Slack) on Tuesday, Oct. 8th. Air quality will be monitored as usual, and decisions based on participation because of air quality will be communicated out to coaches and student/athletes by school administrators.

Big Horn Schools

While the proximity of the Big Horn Schools is not as close to the mountains (similar to TRE and TRMS in Ranchester), we know that families and staff living southwest and west of the school campus have already been impacted. At this time, there is no warning status (Ready, Set, Go) for the Big Horn School campus. School in Big Horn will be as normal on Monday. We will continue to monitor the situation hourly and communicate with ALL District Staff and Families whenever things change in Big Horn.

*Also, the Elk Fire Emergency Management Team will be planning a town meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 9th at 7 p.m. to be held at BHHS. Details on this meeting will be announced soon by the Emergency Management Team.

Jeff Jones,

Superintendent

Tongue River Middle School
