PATRON AND STUDENT PARKING NOTICE: As a reminder, parents will be required to drop off/pickup students in the new “Drop Off and Pick Up Lane” down by the walkway up to the Bus Island. No drop offs or pickups of students will be allowed at the front of the HS building due to student safety. This area is very well marked and Office Lusk and Officer Humphreys will assist students and parents during the first weeks of school. Also--Students WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to access Student Parking areas from the top lane by the HS office. They will access those areas only from the lower lot and from the entrance/exit road on the visitor bleacher side coming in from 900 west. Parents are allowed to park in the area in front of the HS office when visiting the school.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE: Snake River High School and Snake River School District very much need each student’s/parent’s assistance with attendance this year. Due to the Idaho State Department of Education and the Idaho State Legislature’s mandates regarding attendance, we need each student in school as much as possible.  When scheduling family vacations and other days when students may not be in school, please attempt to schedule appointments and vacations during Harvest Break, Spring Break, Thanksgiving Break, and Christmas Break if possible. Our funding from the SDE is based upon students being in school face-to-face with teachers and other classmates. Students learn more when they are in school. The 2024-2025 district schedule can be found at snakeriver.org. 

STUDENT INVOLVEMENT:  Snake River HS has many activities and sports for all students. Many studies have found that student grades are better when the student is involved in activities and sports. Fall sports include: cross country, football, soccer, and volleyball. Winter sports include: basketball, and wrestling. Spring sports include: baseball, softball, track and field, and golf. Other activities that students can be involved in are: cheerleading, dance, skeet/shotgun shooting club, choir, jazz band, marching band, orchestra, drama, student leadership, executive council, honor society, speech and debate, FFA, BPA, HOSA, and FCCLA. There is something for each student here at SRHS—please encourage your student to participate.

STUDENT ELECTRONICS POLICY (as per Snake River School District Board of Trustees): Will be forth coming in the next few days prior to school beginning. Thank you.

If we can assist you or if you have any questions, please feel free to call us at Snake River High School at 684-3061.
