Interrupting class during education time makes it difficult for teachers. It is important to inform your child of their after-school arrangements before school. If it is an emergency and you need to call during that day, make sure it is before 2:30 to enable us to have time to deliver the message.  After 2:30 we may not be able to notify the student.

If your child has an appointment, they need a cut slip. Please send a signed note, your student comes to the office before school for a REQUIRED cut-slip allowing them to come to the office at the stated time. This is necessary to not interrupt class and also if the students are in gym, band, or choir we cannot call into those areas.

If your child will be absent for a full day or more, please send a note previous to those dates so they can get an Advanced Dismissal slip and have all their teachers sign it.

Upload ALL activity (sports) paperwork and fees, including physicals through the following website.  We are unable take any hard copy or fees in the office or Student Services. The following site breaks everything down for Horizon and Century. https://century-ar.rschooltoday.com/

It has come to our attention that there was an error in the printing of our raffle tickets this year. The actual calendar on the tickets has errors on November 15 and November 22. Therefore, we wanted to send out a correct calendar, that will also be posted prominently on the Horizon Middle School website and Facebook page, so that the schedule of drawings will be widely known. To be clear, $4000 in total cash drawings will be completed during the month of November, as depicted on the calendar below and shown on the table on the raffle tickets being shown.

If there are any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact Horizon PAC President Karen Dunlap at freckles_91@icloud.com or 208-940-2277.

Thanks to all those who are selling (and supporting the sale of) and buying raffle tickets! 

Please note: the new deadline to turn in all tickets to your homebase teacher is October 31. 

And a big thanks to our Husky Ambassadors who are staffing a table in the mornings before school to distribute tickets to the students who are getting extra tickets to sell!
