Eagle Families ~ Here's a handy list of the days school will not be in session, and also the dates with an early dismissal. Save this information so you can easily plan appointments, vacations, and family activities throughout the school year.

Whenever possible, we encourage families to schedule these events during school breaks or on days when school is not in session. Every day in the classroom provides valuable learning experiences, meaningful connections, and opportunities for students to grow and succeed. Thank you for partnering with us to make attendance a priority and helping set our students up for a successful school year!

The 4th annual Wood River Football Steak Feed and Raffle is just 2 weeks away! Get your tickets from any Wood River Football Player or Coach!
