Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to inform you of an instructional change for our middle school students. Beginning this year, the 6th grade blend and the 7th/8th grade students will receive their Science and English Language Arts instruction on the Falls City High School campus.
Students will only be on the high school campus in two-hour blocks, and transportation will be provided by bus. All middle school students will continue to eat lunch at the elementary school.
This adjustment is intended to provide students with access to additional instructional resources and staff support. Students will continue to be part of our elementary/middle school community while attending these classes at the high school.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to provide the best learning environment for all students.
Sincerely,
Mickel Kidd
Falls City High School Principal
Zachary Sapp
Elementary/Middle School Principal

Friendly Reminder for Families Transferring from Another District
If your child is transferring to Falls City from another school district, please remember to start the transfer process again with your home district for the 2025–2026 school year.
Transfers need to be approved by both your home district and Falls City before we can finalize enrollment. This step is required each school year—even if your child has transferred before.
Not sure which school district your home address is in? You can find out by using https://www.greatschools.org/school-district-boundaries-map/.
Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth start to the new school year!
