Three Forks Student Handbook

Learn the Rules of Three Forks Schools

The faculty, staff and I welcome back the classes of the twenty-first century. This year we will enter a new century ripe with challenges and opportunities for personal growth. We are very excited about the upcoming school year and are preparing for you educational opportunities that are enjoyable and challenging. Our primary goal is to provide you with the knowledge, skills and work ethic that will allow you to pursue future educational and occupational choices with confidence.
Our expectations for you are set high because we believe that every student can meet with success academically, athletically and socially. Through the course of your school career, we encourage you to challenge yourself by taking a variety of courses and by participating in at least one and hopefully more of the school's many co-curricular programs. Keys to your success in both areas will be your ability to set and maintain realistic goals, and your ability to manage your time. Please take time to visit with staff about programs when you have concerns or questions. Your teachers are here to help you plan for your future. As we move into the New Year together, please know that your involvement in all areas helps build SCHOOL PRIDE and SCHOOL SPIRIT within our school community.
